Item 46 - Letter from F. A. Kitchener to Nora Sidgwick

1 doc

Claims that she and Frank have been thinking so much of Nora in her great loss [the death of her husband]. Reports that they have heard constantly from 'The [Berlin]' and from Charlotte, and fears that 'there must have been great suffering, and depression.' Refers to her last meeting with Henry, which she believes was at Trinity Lodge at the end of the previous November. Claims to remember nearly every word of their conversation, and how eager Henry was to know more. States that where they are 'right among the snows and the [ ] hills, the mysteries seem closer and more appalling than in ordinary life.' Claims that 'one's first feeling was that now he knows, and that in itself must be a wonderful happiness.' States that he believes that there never was anyone 'of whose kindness and sympathy one could feel so certain' and that the world 'seems much poorer from his loss'.
