Summary
Letting Knight know that she does not unfortunately have answers to all of his questions about the memorials to her brother (the amount of the Fund that was raised, the cost of the bust placed in Westminster Abbey); giving him the name of the sculptor of the bust, Albert Bruce-Joy, and the name of the prize established in Arnold's memory; suggesting other sources for the information he is seeking, including her nephew Richard Penrose Arnold, his brother-in-law Frederick Whitridge, and the Secretary of the Arnold Memorial Fund, George Russell; writing that she was sorry to miss seeing him when he was with Gordon Wordsworth.
