Summary
Wishing they might see one another in the Spring; saying she will "answer the Ruskin Centenary's letter now that I have heard that you are in it--but have no idea whether I shall be able to go up to London for any celebration. And, darling, what really matters is that we knew him and loved and honoured him while he was with us--isn't it so?"
