Edith was always known as Ella, she was a very good pianist and always in demand as an accompanist. Ella assisted her father in his work with handicapped children, and used music to engage them in any early form of music therapy.
Ella brought her music to Suffolk, forming a Womens Institute Choir in Polstead with considerable sucess. However she had little interest in living in Alston Court Nayland, a large cold house lacking amenities.

This must have been Surrey taken from nearly our favourite seat; I have written to Mrs Lemon(?) to ask her to put us up on Oct 1st if she can, it would be lovely to see you again and to have a respite from these endless nights! Two very nice Air Raid Wardens searched our garden during the night for Mrs Marshall heard a crash, nothing was found so I conclude it was a tile
Very much love from D and Me
