I fear I shall not be able to answer it for some long time as I am suffering from a brain and nervous breakdown, consequent on mental overwork. The doctor forbids writing and is threatening a “rest cure” if there is not more improvement soon. Was glad to hear all your news, am sincerely sorry for “Holt” seems so delicate - yes, I saw Mrs. Richards several times and she came to tea with me one afternoon. With love to yourself and the boys, offer my kind regards to Mr. Innes. Believe me! Yours effectively, E.
