S3E14: 1910 politics and a General Election

Frances reads four letters, written by Neville, Edmund, Avice and Enid in January and February of 1910.

Neville has had a fabulous holiday in England, and writes his last budget letter before sailing to Canada, including plenty about the politics of the day.

Edmund is angry with his siblings about politics being included in the Budget and doesn't write a letter, then feels regret and writes a short one.

Avice writes a long, chatty letter from Portal in Tarporley; she enjoys the political discussions.

Enid is not pleased about politics in the budget, and also writes about the sectarian riots in Liverpool.
