9Thank you for your letter & your gift. I hardly like to take it when I
10know how great your expenses must be with two households to run.

12Thank-you for your loving words. If our boy is hardly ever out of my
13mind I know what it must be with you.

18Nothing matters much in the world but love; not greatness not fame,
19not power not wealth – that grows always & always clearer to me.
