| Content Summary: | Jenny tells her Irving has agreed to recite at the Bazaar they are interested in and she thanks him. She takes the opportunity to tell him she has forgotten every feeling of bitterness about the past and she only has kind thoughts of him. She always felt responsible for what she herself suffered and only felt bitterness on her mother's account. Time teaches a great deal and she has learnt some sympathy for others. She has not seen him for 17 years but will be glad to meet again and hear him recite. She wants no engagement - just to hold out the olive branch. | ||

Isabel continued to act to pay off her mother's debts, but became a nun in January 1899, dying as Mother General of her Order. | ||
