"I have been exchanging letters with Lady Constance Malleson for the last few months. She is a remarkable woman in every respect. Ken Blackwell and I were able at last to arrange a meeting of the Russell Society here this year and were fortunate in enticing Katharine Tait up with two of her children. She was charming and her talk was very well received."

"I was very sorry to hear of the tragic death of Lady Lucy. It must have been a terrible shock to the Russell family."
