Dear Katherine

                It is very kind

and thoughtful of you to remember my loneliness with such a pleasant invitation.

Unfortunately I shall not be able to accept.

I am glad to know you are so happily settled in the old home - which seems quite as it should be.

Your mother, too, must be glad to feel that the house has been rescued from vandals and strangers.

It seems ages since I saw her - dark ages, at that
