From Edith Russell's transcription when she was Edith Finch:

"They have settled on a house near Paoli, 'a square stone house' ... Bertie decided to rent—much more sensible.... P says Dora has written demanding Bertie should bring her and her 2 children here. (It reminded me of Shelley's inviting Harriet to join him and Mary on the Continent). They talked it over and felt they must refuse. Dora outraged, is now preying on John and Kate in California. They sent on a letter in which she was very bitter to them about B's refusal, when she had saved his life in China—despite nurses and doctors."
