Summary
On financial matters relating Morris family members and her worries about May Morris; saying "I know May is not good about business & depends entirely upon you & I feel very much all that you have been to them. There! I have told you somewhat of my mind. Of course I wish I could help but I have no right to. My brother Rendall's 8 children were left entirely to my care & I had to do everything for them & very grateful I am to have done it : They are good sons & daughters to me & I have 14 grandchildren in Canada & Australia! So I am a happy old woman with my heart & hands full not very strong as I have a shaky heart but I get out on my own legs to our beautiful gardens here. I hope you may see your way to giving me some hints about the business as far as May is concerned."
