Stuk 182 - Letter from Clara Tovey to Elizabeth Trevelyan

Hedenham Lodge, Bungay, Suffolk. - Is very sorry to hear bad news of Dr [Julius] Röntgen. The doctor told Donald yesterday that he would not be well enough to go to Edinburgh this winter: he is 'very depressed', though he must been prepared by his own feelings, but he is also full of plans and wants to have Molly Grierson and Margaret Ludwig down to arrange the winter's work. Clara fears this will be too much for him, and as it looks as if they will have to stay here for several months, hopes the Trevelyans will not mind delaying their visit. Donald feels it best to say at first that he will not be ready to go back in October, so she asks for discretion.
