8, Grosvenor Crescent, S.W. [but perhaps written at Bournemouth?] - Sorry to hear that Elizabeth's nurse is not well; perhaps some treatment will put her right. Would be delightful if she and Robert could be at Cambo when she says, then come to Caroline and Sir George; they could keep Julian as long as was required if Elizabeth and Robert wanted to pay visits or travel in August; sure Julian should have northern air in hot weather. '[S]hocked and distressed at the King's death'; Elizabeth knows she does not 'care much about royalties', but the King has been 'most important' in the [current constitutional] crisis, has 'always done the right thing' since becoming King and has often 'intervened in a most useful & broad-minded way'; it is a 'real blow for the liberal party'. Sorry Elizabeth had 'such a small meeting' [of her Women's Liberal Association?] but is not surprised; 'extraordinary how apathetic & suspicious they are at first, but interest grows gradually'. Suggests arranging a tea party. Is feeling much better; Sir George comes this morning. Very amused by the photo.
