Summary
Saying she has had no response and fears her letter to him went astray; asking him to write to her to allay her fears as she would be delighted to see him again; adding that she is always at home on Tuesdays; saying she understood he had called on her several times but no one had given her his cards; saying she knows of his unhappiness and though she didn't write to him, so as not to add to all the banal and useless condolences that one receives in such circumstances, she is sincerely sympathetic; asking if he would assure her of his friendship.
