But I have wasted the last few years in winding up my husband’s estate, which has nearly driven me mad, and all my married life our affairs have been handed over punctiliously to a firm of accountants, who have now handed it back to me in the state of a piece of knitting played with by a litter of kittens. As I picked up the stitches I have had more and. more trouble with. my eyes and so. life has been a shambles. I’ve got my eyes as right as I can and tried to get the knitting on the needles again, and I would like to see you!... Thank you for your book and your kind lunch. (That was a lovely party Sarah and Marjorie gave for me! And I saw so many people lie you that I had been barred off from for so long). I will read your book with pleasure... About Barbara - she is very glad of company if one can sacrifice oneself for an hour or two. She is very old now, and very stiff... and very distraught. But she is sweet and affectionate with her bitchiness and it is all very sad...”, 2 sides 8vo., with original autograph envelope, 48 Kingston House North, Prince’s Gate, S.W.7., 9th February
