Scope and content
Is newly anxious about Donald [Tovey]. As often before, is 'full of great gratitude and admiration for Dr Mary Grierson', with whom she has had no communication for a long time but who has seen as clearly as she has 'the evil and danger' of Donald's life in Hedenham, though she has 'not realised the evil effect of John [Wellcome Tovey]'s being there too for himself and for Donald. Has heard from John today that, in spite of her mother's bad health and other family trouble, Dr Grierson has gone to Hedenham and persuaded Donald to return to Edinburgh as soon as possible. Donald should never have let himself be persuaded to take a term's leave from work. John says that they wish to travel by motor, and he wants to drive them; they have 'a craze for motoring' and each time they have done it before Donald has been ill, 'once with a month of pneumonia'; they should take a warm first class carriage in the through train from Harwich.
