Scope and content

44 George Square, Edinburgh. - Has been waiting to see 'daylight' in his and his wife's plans, so far to no result: they cannot make visits without first going to Englefield Green, and at the moment only 'lunacy & blackmail' have come from there. His wife's 'great strength & gentleness has so far averted a catastrophe' and they might, as Miss Weisse proposes, get there by June 25th, but only if she completely changes her 'tone'. If not, thinks they will try and get 'some sort of house or farm' near the Trevelyans; will keep Bessie informed.

      Notes area

      Note

      Dated in pen 'Ages ago 1916'; a pencil annotation suggests 'Probably end of Mar' but the address and internal evidence make June 1916 more likely.
