Item 47 - Letter from Sophie Weisse to Elizabeth Trevelyan

Kirsch's Hotel, Bad Nauheim. - It is good of Bessie, when she has Julian to take care of as well [to look after Donald Tovey so well?]; thanks her for writing; thinks it will not be safe to try the Sanatogen for a while but to keep with the brown tonic, which contains quinine. Wonders if he is going to [Augusta and Douglas] Freshfield next Sunday; wishes she were at home, but supposes it is necessary if she is to be fit for next term. Has told Herbert to send more of Donald's tonic; tells Bessie to open the box of apples which will arrive from Shoolbreds as Donald was to offer them. A postscript notes that there may be 'great trouble brewing from Worplesdon' [home of his family] again, and asks Bessie to 'watch over him if he seems excited'.
