MS Mrs Clare Roels/85
My dear C C
It is a cruel stroke to lose Lanty at the same time as M P You must feel desolate like Othello. Aimée Leroy has an idea, and may write to you about it, anent M P She says she has seen A D I’s business advertised to be sold.1 I have not, but I think my notice was sent in time. He has taken no notice, I suppose he washes his hands of all of us.
I shall be quite open to you and glad any day before the 16th when Helen comes to me – I believe- Annie Moberly comes on the 12th, for about a week. It would be good to talk over Arthurine with her.2 Helen may come a day or two later /than 16\, but I will find out and how about space will then appear I do want a talk but you had better see Aimée first. I though Mary Bramston was from home, but no doubt it is only for a day or two. I should be very glad of a talk. So much coming at once on you.
