Lady Victoria Campbell

" ETHICA " 263
May came the summons to Bournemouth. It
was to be with Dot in her last hours. God
only knows how I got through. The oppressed
breathing was terrible. The glad light flitted over
her face, as I quoted familiar texts or hymn.
The awful suddenness of the end all seemed like
a dream.
Then, going to Edinburgh, the wonderful beauty
of those summer days. The true friendship it
all cemented between Mr. Charles Guthrie and me.
The tender, strong sympathy of dear Dr. Charteris,
I can never express what it was.
Jan. 17th, 1893. Tiree.
My dear Mrs. Macdiarmid,
An enormous class yesterday from the Sahara
and the two Cornaigs. Only Flora McLean for my
aide-de-camp. All these need cards. The whole
of " the Sahara " require almanacs.
I am getting on. Neuralgia pretty severe, but
I am thankful I went to Cornaig. In haste. Yrs.,
V.C.
To Mrs. Macdiarmid.
Aug. 2Mh, 1893. Argyll Lodge.
We must do the best we can in the meantime,
and I have the hope ultimately that we may
manage some local association for Argyll (Home
Industries). A regular working Branch, as Suther-
land and Inverness, have been organised.
