Verena

P.S.—I often wonder if you would not like the series of hunting scenes by Alken that used to be in the dining-room. Let me know and I will send them.


LXII
Verena Raby to Theodore Raby

My Dear Theo,—How very delightful to hear from you—even though it is such a tale of woe. I don’t want you to have more of such perplexities, but I do want to have another letter. It was odd too because I was just beginning a long one to Walter asking for his news and telling him mine.

If Josey writes to me, you may be sure I will be on your side—but can’t you get her something to do? It is idleness and enough money to buy new frocks that lead to these problems. I should like her to come here, but, as you say, she wouldn’t accept just now.—Your very loving

V.
