Sharp, Rosamund to Doris Langley Moore, Dec. 15th

"Dear Mrs Moore, I am very sorry if our letters only added to your difficulties.

He didn't mean at all that you should use them, but he thought it looked as if we had all been too careless in leaving that side of E. Nesbit's life untold (as I think we had) and he felt it was as well you should know more definitively what sort of a man he was and why he was as important as he undoubtedly was in her life..."
