Writes to the recipient (Lady Wavertree) of the changes in England since the recent coronation - "Things are better in any case just now. And the solid love shown to the King & Queen has given the whole world a sort of sense of security & peace. There is a new wave over the country as if they were turning once more to domestic ideals & 'house' & so on, & you will see a good itme is coming for civilisation. The Simpson affairs & its end has done great good, like a good surgical operation. In short just what we used to call old fashioned 'good' is having it turn once more.". Seller Inventory # 017752
