Pièce 29 - Letter from Sophie Weisse to Elizabeth Trevelyan

Northlands, Englefield Green, Surrey. - Knows what Bessie means about interruptions to work, but asks Bessie to get Bob 'to sacrifice a little this once' and come to Northlands on Sunday. Is worried about the Arányis: fears it will be Friday before Donald [Tovey] gets back from London and the girls must work with him. All four coming today; will try and keep them as long as she can; has 'rather an important engagement' for them in July. Bessie can be quiet as she likes at Northlands, and Bob and Donald can perhaps work [at the opera] between music making with the girls; unsure which day they are to play with Sir Walter [Parratt]. Wishes the pain in her leg and side would ease.
