Scope and content
As from 20 Hinde House, Hinde Street, W.1. - Hopes he does not mind the address 'dear Bob': they have 'a distant cousinship' but it is one she values. Thanks him for sending his "Dream"; his 'Lucifer is a nobler fellow than Milton's', though she feels his Christ is 'too mild a man'; asks who the 'old wizard' is, she supposes Merlin. Would have liked to read more. Read it in bed as she is 'laid up at present'; was in King's College Hospital for a short time, as her doctor is Mrs Hennant [?] who is now on the staff there; knows she and her sister are friends of Bob's. Likes her 'so much'; they spoke about Bob. Is very grateful for the books Bob gave her in the summer. Best Christmas wishes to him and his family.
