My dearest Mother

Your last letter and Anna's
made me very unhappy. I am not
going to scold you – far from it, for
you all seem to me to be rather
wretched. It is not only money that is the
matter – it is because you are too
preoccupied with one thing – that cold Kirk
of yours – while Nan has nothing to
occupy herself with. I am very sorry for you
all but especially for my old Nan. She
is suffering what any one might suffer who
has an extended horizon and a limited
opportunity. It is a complaint common to most
