Adressed to 'Miss Constance M. Evans Raventhorpe Carmel Road N. Darlington.' She begins by stating that Evans's letter has been forwarded to her by Julian Herbage. She is 'most interested to know that your birthday coincides with mine and that you claim to be the earliest private accompanist I ever had' and thinks from all that Evans says in her letter that 'that is more than likely and your mention of my great friend Rose Budd and Helen Taylor arouses so many happy memories.' She exclaims 'Alas!' on giving the news that Budd died in April 1949 adding that she still visits her husband occasionally. 'Helen Taylor of course became Helen Cowan but I have not seen her for years. I also knew Mr. McKenzie who played the 'cello.' She ends in the hope that life has treated Evans well 'and that all progresses for you as you desire'.
