Stuk 73 - Letter from Sophie Weisse to Elizabeth Trevelyan

1 item

Northlands, Englefield Green, Surrey. - Is 'devoured by anxiety about Donald [Tovey]': saw him off at Charing Cross 'looking as he did during those dangerous months of depression in the beginning of 1906'. Had a long talk with Willy Strecker after Donald left this morning: Hugh Godley has done a great deal of mischief, and still wants Donald to 'bring an action' [against Pablo Casals]. Thought Strecker 'most wise', and regrets Donald did not send him his letter to Casals before dispatching it. Fears from Donald's own account that the letter he sent to Casals in Liverpool was 'very argumentative Toveyish "I have the last word"' in style. Has got him a room in the same hotel as [Julius Engelbert] Röntgen in Vienna; asks Bessie if she could write to Röntgen and tell him how anxious Miss Weisse is so that he might send her some news of Donald. Is also dreadfully sorry for Pablo. Hopes Bessie found Julian well; thanks her for coming on Tuesday.
