Meynell opened the letter from Dora which BR referred to him, in which there was a "... request that she should have a note 'of the clothes that John and Kate have in the wash, that are being sent direct to Dartington'". Dora also requests that clothing she bought, "summer things etc.", be sent to Boyle's Court.

"I have had of course long letters from her in response to mine. In the first she renews the demand that the notice should be given to Dartington and I replied in the sense of my former letter. Her second letter suggest[s] that she may go to the Chancery Court."

Beneath the letter there is a handwritten note stating, "My partners heard with much pleasure my report of our talk about your family memoir." [Re The Amberley Papers.]
