Scope and content
34 Hertford [St, W.?]. - Thanks for Monograms [sic]; lines on Mary Berry's death; her own sketch of 'the Berry fire side'; that world could never exist in 'these days of R[ail] Rds, Telegrams... and excitement, without thought & repose - I often pity the young who are always in Motion...'. The only fault in the book is not having [?] of Suleiman Pasha to head it. Her grandson Maurice will be in England about the 20th. Thanks to Annabel for condolences on [her son] Alexander's 'sad suffering Death'.
