Summary
Writing that her book "was a great lark & we have both read it with very much amusement ... the whole thing is just as easy & discoursive as a caravan journey should be" and adding "You'll not mind my saying that youre in the 'school of Elizabeth'. Constantly you remind me of her. It doesn't prevent you being very much yourself."
