June 27. 1898 My darling, / All your words of ' love have gone into my heart - / but I could not write sooner. / And they joined on so sweetly to the / note you wrote a few days be- / fore - which I had shewn him / in my pleasure at it, and he / had been so glad of it. / You will understand that / what has happened often seems / like a dream - you will know I / cannot write about i - but I / can tell you thankfully that I / am so grateful for his life / that often, I can say nothing / except praises for it. The know- / ledge too that he lived to see / how dearly he was loved & / that his fame / was wide and great, / is all sweet to me. I go on / from day to day, and strength to / do it comes - and I believe / will come. / I should like to see you / soon, dearest, if possible - would / Thursday or Friday afternoon / suit you? / Your most loving / Georgie
