BR and Davies quote a statement by Patricia in their letter to Dora, after Patricia read Dora's letter of 23 March 1933. Patricia is quoted as saying in part, "Dora says in her letter to you that, if it becomes necessary for the children to know that she objects to meeting me it will also be necessary for them to know that it is distasteful to me to receive visits from her. It is true that I do not enjoy seeing Dora, but that is only because of the extreme hatred of me which she has shown in the past year. I have never objected to meeting Dora.... I never disliked Dora's company—what I disliked was living as a dependent in her house with no home of my own to have children in."
