Scope and content

c/o Mrs Ainsworth, Harvest Road, Englefield Green, Surrey. - Thanks Trevelyan for his letter: had been wishing he knew of the difficulties of Don's condition or 'want of condition'; refuses to give up hope. Currently concerned about arrangements for the winter in Edinburgh: Don must be in medical hands, either in his house, or a nursing home, or a hotel where privacy can be maintained, and he is insistent that she should be in Edinburgh too. Is going to Buxton soon to discuss this. It is necessary for his health to 'sever all connections with Northlands' [and Miss Weisse] until Don recovers. Is very sorry they will not reach Edinburgh in time to see Trevelyan; is sparing Don the disappointment. It is very hard for Don, who is not to blame; when 'anyone takes the responsibility of the charge of a child they must do their duty by it' and she pities 'her' [Miss Weisse] 'in her nemesis [sic]'; but all may still be well.
