Lucia.
It is one thing for Mother - as a widow she is expected to be able to live on her own and even perhaps some eccentricities I fear I have been preoccupied with business and my writing and have, perhaps, not given her the attention that she ought to have. Perhaps we should invite her to stay with us over the holidays? It might be even nice for you to have some assistance with the girls considering your condition?
She said herself that she would prefer someone with some maturity and so the thought that you suggest has occurred to me. Certainly it has worked well for us and I know that I would rather see her settled with someone who is fully acquainted with his family responsibilities and not likely to demonstrate some of the same lunacy that some of the younger generation seems prone to do.
