MS Charlotte Mitchell
My dear Gertrude
Thanks for your chapters.1 If anything strikes me, I will tell you, but I like all I have read very much. I think Miss Peard does know Arcachon, so I am desiring her to write to you, but I do not believe that Miss Roberts has ever been on that side of France. She /MR\ is at the Crescent Hotel, Filey, sadly laid up by a strain of the hip, which she neglected and now has grown to be a bad business. It hindered the party from going to the Dolomites, and now Dr Latham has forbidden it for fear of cholera.
I have been longing to exchange some word of the piteous load on all our hearts with you and Edith ever since that great shock.2 I am glad to know that about Twilight.
Haven’t you often thought of his having no twilight- the sun gone down while yet day.
I hope all will agree on one Memorial and not fritter up into quantities of little things, everyone making it an opportunity of getting what he wants. I think a Surrey Cathedral & Bishopric would be the grandest, and it would be national3
yours affectionately
C M Yonge
