| Description | She was vexed with herself for making him explain his preference for the north [of India]. Their separation is troubling her and she feels more alone than before. She sends a bill and two letters from 'that miserable muddle Edward Power'. She refers to her trust account, noting that nothing had been paid in by Mr Cocker since December 1870, and discussing the state of her settlement and possible action in Chancery, concluding 'surely we can agree to burn that settlement without the Lord Chancellor's interference?' She waits to hear, but some reply must be made to the 'highly unpleasant communication from the Bank'. She has heard from 'BRB' who has sent John a letter, and has another letter announcing the birth of Mrs Innes's son. She has dined with the General and gives a brief account of that. She thanks John for Mr. [William] Crookes's paper. |
