My dear Mrs Colenutt
Many thanks for your invitation. I may see you in a day or so. I don’t know yet.
Will you ask your husband to send one guinea or any sum small or great which he can afford to the Richard Jeffries fund. The widow, who is a very economical woman, will be able to live on the £100 a year granted
by the Government, and keep her two children, but at her death the pension ceases and what friends want to do is to raise a fund to educate these children and provide for them in case of their mother's decease. (1)
The address for the treasurer of the fund is Mr. W.C. Alexander, 24 Lombard Street.
I told you to read the article in Longman. Read also Wilde life in a Southern County. To me chapter iv has few rivals in beauty of pure English prose and in suggestiveness.
I was very sorry to hear about Charlie. Give my best love to him. He will have to give up his bicycle if he has any tendency to such disorders.
Faithfully and affectionately
W.Hale White
