Mrs Reitz sent me this card, she says they are very nice people & will
7: h introduce you to others if you call on them. She has written to them.
8: I am so very glad you had such a happy time at your brother Percy’s
9: His wife attracts me more than any other of your relations or
10: connections that I have seen. I love those dry reserved Scotch women;
11: if once they do get to love you their love is worth having. It’s
12: curious how many of my friends both men & women have been of that hard
13: Scotch type. It has a great fascination for me. I feel so much happier
14: about you since you had that happy time
15:
16: ^there. We have to be in Cape Town on the 10th of March when Parliament
17: opens. My darling boy needs the change, he is looking very tired &
18: over worked. All goes well with me, & the family. Have you read Ed
19: Carpenter’s new book the art of creation? If not get it, you will
20: enjoy it much.
