19 Kensington Park Road, W.11. - Thrilled to get Trevelyan's letter and the enclosure from Mr [Charles Prestwich] Scott; had not dared to think they would use her "Poor Traveller" [it appeared in the "Manchester Guardian" of 9 Jan 1923, under the name of 'M.B.']. Not surprised that this was the first Scott had seen of it; asks if Trevelyan could try him with "Resi". She is not sure about "The Ferry" and will hold it back. If he left early he has probably not received her letter enclosing "Aftermath", but it can wait; thanks him for all the trouble he is taking. Encourages him to see Bernh[ard] Sickert's paintings if he has time.

12 Pembroke Gardens, Kensington, W. - Thinks Stanley's father [Moritz Makower] will give his widow Agnes something to live on, but they are 'embittered against each other'; he wants her to return to Switzerland very soon and she needs time to recover. Feels Agnes must bear it for the children: there are four under six years old, with nothing to live on but what Makower gives them. Eleanor would like to see Trevelyan very much. Stanley did not realize he was dying, and his death was peaceful. Hopes that one of Agnes' brother will come, and may put things right. She wants to see Stanley's last book through the press, which would keep her in England till next year; Makower wants her to leave this month. Oswald and Robert went to the funeral; there was no trouble about the religious question; he had a Catholic ceremony and burial and the children will be brought up in their parents' faith. She, her 'four sons and two daughters in law' spent a month in Dieppe over the summer.
