Tylor tells BR he recently received a letter from John and Kate stating their happiness with Dartington.

Tylor tells BR that "with regard to the recent crisis, although Dora was very willing to co-operate, I do not think that the Chancery Court would have made an order allowing the children to go to America", especially John because of how close to military age he is.

The children stayed recently with Lady Black [Dora's mother].
