Pièce 64 - Letter from Sophie Weisse to Elizabeth Trevelyan

1 item

Is as sorry as Donald [Tovey] must be that his trip to Spain has been put off, even though she would have been anxious about the heat; they must now wait for [Pablo] Casals to write. She had just written to Guilhermina [Suggia] with Donald's time of arrival when the telegram came. If she were a 'fairy Godmother' she would get them to join Donald at Vernet les Bains, which Lady [Evelyn] de Vesci says is 'heavenly'. Casals has been 'wildly anxious' about his mother for some time, or it might be cholera. She will not go to Paris now, but have another couple of baths [at Nauheim?] then return via Flushing [Vlissingen] and Folkestone. Ought to be at Northlands by Saturday morning, but has promised to go to Worplesdon. If the Trevelyans have Donald a few days longer, at least there will be more time for Ariadne ["The Bride of Dionysus"], then he must have a little more holiday. An enclosure [now no longer present] may interest Bessie. Discussion of the weather: it has been raining in Chile.

Written on Northlands printed notepaper, but internal evidence indicates Sophie Weisse still abroad.
