MS Mrs Clare Roels

My dear Christabel
Here are the Answers All to one question! I have read Hanbury Mills once to myself and am now reading it to poor Gertrude who enjoys it exceedingly – I like it very much indeed – there is so much character in the three degrees of refusement, and all the people seem to me very successful- Wilfred and Frank especially & Mrs Bridgewater and Joe. By the by in 108 & 9 you have twice made Prince Rupert speak, if one goes by the Antecedents & Nominatives – I think the hitch is why Scott never suspected Foster first or last till Joe discovered it. But the way Patience is raised is very touching and charming – I think it has more life in it than Lady Betty Pray send me more Face

your affectionate
