Scope and content
Mrs Germanova is very ill with a 'spasm at the place where she was operated'; this is very painful and prevents her from eating or drinking so she is very weak; this is why she has not replied to Trevelyan's letter, but she asks the nurse to say how glad she was to receive it. She asks him to keep the Russian typescript [of her memoirs], as this is the safest place for it; but she would like to read the English translation, not for the language, as she is sure with Trevelyan correcting it it will be 'perfect', but as she is afraid the 'former translator has changed some ideas or facts'. It is however not the time to send typescripts between countries. She sends her love to Trevelyan and his wife, and to Julian and Ursula. Her son and his wife are in New York already, and seem 'very hopefull and energetic'.
