Dear Mrs. Thorne,
I hear that your two girls are coming to Morton next week. Don’t you think it would be very wrong to let them travel so far all alone? Don’t you think it is clearly your duty to come and stay a week or two with me when you arrive? I should like so very much to see you again at something like leisure, and also to show you my Dispensary and all and sundry I am doing here. So many Edinbro’ friends would like to see you! Do try to come if only for a week or two!
I remember that the ‘wonderful woman’ went to London and back for 24 hours once, so she can’t mind travelling! In haste
Yours sincerely,
S. Jex-Blake.”
