  • Scope and Content
    The Cottage, Groombridge, Kent. My dear friend, We moved last Monday in the wet! Fortunately we had taken lodgings. I saw the vans depart from Crowborough. Molly superintended the unloading and showed the talent of a general. She got back to the lodgings at eleven p.m. When we shall be settled I cannot say. There is a large old garden to our new abode with very big trees in it. It is almost too much of a garden for us, but we shall leave part of it wild. I have not seen those Emerson (1) numbers and indeed I have had no time for reading lately. Ernest was married last Saturday. I do not know his present address. As soon as I hear from him I will tell him about your kind offer. I will write further when I have a little more leisure. Love from us both – also to Annie. Your affectionate friend W. Hale White I consider Chamberlain the most dangerous politician of this Century – his schemes are all wind but they may nevertheless plunge the nation into disaster. (1) Emerson, Ralph Waldo born May 25, 1803, Boston, Mass., U.S. died April 27, 1882, Concord, Mass.
