‘Miss Belcher is still very ill, but yesterday brought me a gleam of hope. Thanks to you I am wonderfully well. I have cycled two mornings as far as our Sanatorium, and got back about 8 A.M. ... I think this renewed life must mean that there is some more work for me to do, or that I want strength to bear some coming trials....

‘We have been getting some lectures from Mr. de Sélincourt, also a son-in-law. We like him very much.... Next Saturday I have to attend six meetings. I had to go to London lately, and spent a night at St. Hilda’s East; it looks so nice, and seems going on so well.’

‘I am glad you have seen the Chapel of the Ascension. Mr. Shields is far the best interpreter I have ever seen of Bible thoughts in pictures.... Thanks to you I am wonderfully strong this term.... I have joined the Aristotelian Society. I shall almost never, perhaps never be able to attend the meetings, but I shall get papers.... Miss Belcher is still battling with the disease. Sometimes we hope, and then we fear we may lose her, but to gain time is much.’
