Notes and topics

She thanks Edith for letting her have "the Voltaire." "I think the knowledge of all you gave him & of its immense value to him can at least make you stand up straight & feel proud." Regarding her letters: "My life hasn't been exactly a great success & I prefer to keep it within the family. I am sure [my son] David would love to have Uncle Frank's watch. He was immensely proud of his grandfather and very fond of him...." "I do have a necklace of my grandmother's, a pendant actually, one that Alys had returned to him for me. Perhaps that was the one he had in mind." Which grandmother is not said; it could well be Lady Amberley. "I think of you often with love & sympathy. All we can say is that our love was helpful to him while he was alive & now we are left holding it in our hands with nobody to give it to."

Kate Tait doesn't mind where her letters are, "As long as nobody reads [them]."
