Bereik en inhoud
Relates that while she was with Betty [?Cashweek] she read nearly all of Henry Sidgwick: A Memoir, which she enjoyed very much. Remarks that 'his whole interesting personality comes out so well', and claims that it is like 'going over all [her] life again', and that reading the book is like 'a chat over it all with one who seems quite perfect in mind and opinion.' Remarks also on what a perfect letter writer he was. Announces that she is going to get the book from the library and finish it. Congratulates Nora on her achievement and remarks that, while it must have been 'a joy' to write the book, it must at the same time have been 'very sad work also'. Adds that it was 'nice and a great privilege to enjoy Gerald [Balfour?]'s good company once more at home', and states that she thought 'all the children at Girdlers Hill much improved.
