Rolfe, Katherine C. to Doris Langley Moore, September 4th [1930s]
Original letter.
Katherine C. Rolfe was a relative of Frederick Rolfe. She apologizes for sending along a packet of letters to Moore so late, because she's had to send them to other family members first.
Moore noted the names "Rolfe" and "Corvo" at the top, linking the two together.

"Dear Mrs. Langley-Moore, In reply to your postcard, I think Crez must have been late in May. Anyhow I know we bathe and that the fields were all golden with buttercups. This last detail is completely definite. I don't know what Arthur can be talking about when he says it was August!?..."

"Dear Mrs Moore - I have just thought of one of E. Nesbit's sayings which is not part of my personal memories of her but which you might care to put in - she was speaking of family-ties and I heard her say "Water runs down-hill.

I think it very sad, rather brilliant, and quite true!"..."
