Unidad documental simple 158 - Letter from Grettie Tovey to Elizabeth Trevelyan

c/o Mrs Ainsworth, Ambleside, Harvest Road, Englefield Green. - Donald is at a nursing home in Buxton, and 'wonderfully comfortable & cheerful' all considered. Miss Weisse is not allowed to write to him, and she herself cannot write letters so as not to worry him; they are however allowed post-cards, and Donald has sent her a magnifying glass to enlarge her writing. He goes to treatment at the Baths and drinks the waters; she has just sent him a parcel of music and some books will also be sent. She feels it a comfort to be near 'a connecting link' in the local doctor, and to Donald's belongings; she is staying as a paying guest in the house of a young naval doctor's wife which happens to be the front part of the house of a lady Donald knows well. Very kind of Bessie to invite her to stay, but it is better to remain here answering Donald's correspondence and near Dr Floyer. Miss Weisse went to Wales with her brother; they both join Miss Mary Weisse near Edinburgh soon. Miss Weisse will be very sorry to learn of Mr [Francis Warre Warre] Cornish's death yesterday; Donald played to him every evening, which gave them both great happiness. Poor Mrs Cornish has been very kind to both Toveys.
