Helen my dear: Today, reading of Teacher's passing, I was too distressed to do more than just sit there in silence, sending you my love and loving sympathy- My heart is sad, but though yours will also be, you have within it the beautiful knowledge of a lifelong bond that no change or bodily parting can affect- I clasp hands with you, and with your incomparable Polly- Zoe Beckley
