Oc : 13 : 1893 You darling girl, I must just / answer your line with another, to / say, in the first place, how thank- / ful I am about your Mother keeping / better - I was almost frightened by / your account of her. I seem to / understand her state now much / better, and have (since I wrote be / fore) a glimpse of an idea of what / has been the matter. Anyway, with- / out waiting for the details which / you may feel inclined to mention / when we meet - I can sympa- / thise with you all, for nothing / hurts one of you without each of / the others feeling it - and I can / add heaps on to my love for Pam- / ela if she has been hurt by / anything or anyone. And I can / say that if she and her / dear mother have had a pathetic / time together lately, you are doing / the best for both in separating / them under such favourable cir- / cumstances - with you to take care / of your mother and Madeline / to love and cherish Pamela. / - Margaret has come back & / the children have returned to her, / we miss them very much. Jack's / sister lies slowly dying - for / weeks past - it is very sad. / Tell me when you come / up, dear, and I will either / come to you or get you to be / here, as best suits you. / I must tell you that before / I realised anything I asked Edward / if he had any clue to the / trouble and disturbance of our / dear Cloud-dwellers - but / if you like I will either not hear a / word more from you, or will / not say anything more to him - / though I know you trust his love. / The great thing is that / your mother is better and / darling little Pamela not ill / for we heard yesterday that / she was expected at Hawar- / den - and if she keeps well / she will be able to open fresh / eyes and ears upon the fresh / world to which she is going. / I should like to see her first / Take care of Mary - and believe / me Your very loving friend / Georgie
