"I read about wonderful Bertie! in the Daily Mail—can you possibly get his autograph on a bit of paper! And I can paste it in his book—when I can get it. How are you and Bertie—give him my best love. I always used to enjoy seeing him and he made me laugh. I think all the Russells have got his sense of humour. I know my mother used to get quite helpless with laughing and be often a disgrace at a party!"
