Autograph letter signed : Cannes, to Arthur Severn, 1894? February 24.

Commenting on a child named Violet's recent operation (probably a reference to Arthur Severn and Joan Agnew Severn's daughter) and the health of her parents; describing her own recovery from a recent illness; mentioning some friends and adding that she feels hypocritical: "Somehow I often feel as though I were acting horribly, my special friends are all of them, I think, very high toned, & far more stable in their conduct than I am [...] How can a thoroughly strong minded person who never feels the temptation to do things wh. with their mind they feel wrong, be judged in the same category as myself -- or anyone with my kind of temperament?"; asking him a question about perspective and reflections, and illustrating it with two sketches; saying that she has had her handwriting analyzed and will send him the results; writing that she is "terribly in want of a little jollification" and recalling past trips they made together to the National Gallery; asking him to report on the London season; discussing various books she has read or would like to read, including Ships That Pass in the Night by Beatrice Harraden, Some Emotions and A Moral, and A Bundle of Life by John Oliver Hobbes (the pen name of Pearl Mary Teresa Richards); and Jane Eyre; mentioning a book of poetry and a collection of essays titled Post-Prandial Philosophy by Grant Allen and commenting on Allen: "I think I shall never get over my last conversation with him -- or rather his monologue"; discussing her feelings about aging; describing an unsucessful painting class with a French instructor; sending her love to Violet and Joan.
