3 Thank you, Mary, for your sweet letter. I shall do what I can about
4the "Home." That evil is the thing which lies hardest on my heart.
5It's what I'm writing about now. I don't think its in the ordinary way
6we will ever do away with it, but by a deep change in ourselves.

8 How is your sister getting on at Kimberley? I'm often thinking of her.
