| Content Summary: |
Would it do to mention G.W. [W.G.] Wills (Charles I) amongst modern authors? The history is so affectionate - might it inspire him to write another? Irving might think it too modern and likely to inspire jealousy in others. They have talked over Irving's paper and like it so much. He works so hard. Some say it is better to be sightless than deaf and she had doubted it, but does not do so now. |
