Scope and content

Thanks her for her letter, and for the 'most useful information about Mrs Fitzgibbon. States that she had told Mr Clark Kennedy and will keep Nora's letter 'for action later in the year'. Adds that they all ought to know far more about Canada than they do. States that she so much enjoyed Nora's '48 hours' [in Coneyhurst] as she always does, and hopes that next time she will stay for longer.

Regrets not having been able to find the letters from Miss Sington. Quotes from a letter from her, written in response to Ewart's disclosure that she could not find the letters; Sington says she wrote to Ewart soon after reading Henry Sidgwick: a Memoir, telling her how much it appealed to her, and comparing Henry's soul to a crystal because it only reflected light, and claiming that she would treasure the book. States that Louise Sington 'is a very delightful woman - very thoughtful and most responsive to, and appreciating all high and good things.' Refers to her slow recovery after 'a very anxious operation, coming quickly after the loss of her beloved friend Rosamond Lyell', which was borne by her admirably. States that she is very interested in the autobiography of the Duke of Argyle. Adds that she thinks that she and her sister go to London for September.
