Scope and content
Coign, Woking. - Glad that Mrs Trevelyan liked her writing 'that letter', and is 'thrilled' to find that 'dear Julius [Röntgen]'s wife' is her sister, which she had not realised before. Cannot go to Edinburgh on 12 December, as she is 'Too poor - unless [Donald] Tovey cd yank up some little piece' of her music so she could get expenses; even so, it is too far,and the last time she stayed there in winter for her Mass she 'nearly died of it'. Asks Mrs Trevelyan to let her know what Julius is doing in London so that she can 'catch sight of him there', as Tovey is 'hopeless about such things'.
