My dear Mrs. Buchan

I fear it may seem to you v. impertinent but I must tell someone, & who better than yourself - how deeply moved I have been in reading 'Walter Scott' by your wonderful husband. I have not yet read the last 5 or 6 pages - but the description of the last days, is so simply & exquisitely told

that I found my eyes blinded with tears & the last paragraph of all - only a Poet could have written them. And again '...for he gathers all things, however lowly & crooked & broken, within the love of God'. It is worthy to be translated into the highest & holiest music.

Violet has enriched my life more than perhaps I realize, but one of her best gifts to me was when she put this most perfect Life into my hands.

I am not supposed to write letters, having been 'ordered' a complete rest. But I had to say Thank-you. I leave this corner of Paradise on Saturday & go to my Ruth for a week, until Ralph returns from his Cruise. Is our dear Billy well & strong again.

Your most grateful

M. Catharine Inge
