Ellis wishes BR good luck on behalf of the Friends' Service Committee: "We wish to assure you that our thoughts will go with you into this new service and we sincerely trust that you will be given sufficient physical strength to stand what it entails." The context is BR's upcoming imprisonment. BR has identified Ellis as Lady Parmoor, stepmother of Sir Stafford Cripps. [It was Edith Ellis's twin sister, Marian, who became Lady Parmoor.]
