Dear Dr Wallace,

I do not know how to tell you how entirely grateful I feel to you for your careful scrutiny & criticism of my Brother's translation which, with your kind letter, reached [2]me this morning.

I am forwarding both to my Brother. How he will appreciate all your kindness!

He too will be sorry — as I am — to hear you are suffering so badly from rheumatism. I sincerely hope the trouble will soon pass & that you may enjoy your usual good health thro[ugh] many a long full day to come.

[3] My Brother's news is much the same. He is well & manages to keep his imagination well occupied — probably the most necessary thing, under the circumstances. And we must possess our hearts in patience.

this awful Labour Strife — the horrors & the sorrow of it all! — seems to have taken the life — or rather, the joy of life out of me. I have been able to think of nothing else & can only hope & pray for happier days for this dear England.

—Accept please, my beautiful "Thank you" & give all kindly greetings to Mrs Wallace & your daughter.

Sincerely & gratefully yours, | Sibell Brandon [signature]
