Letter to Ashcroft Noble
Description
Reciprocal Christmas greetings; recognises Noble's sympathetic hand in The Spectator, 'always does me good'; lives by choice far from the world, rarely comes to the city; coming to London in March, howff at Morley's Hotel, Trafalgar Square; three months of golf, good health and spirits; sorry to hear Noble unwell, hopes things will mend; invites Noble to dine at Morley's; personal disclosure that he and wife have been through 'the bitterest of times — so black and bitter that we do not speak of them to one another'; counsels that the worst places are 'just on this side of the Green valleys of Content and Rest'; going to Galloway to assist relatives through hard times; affirms faith: 'the great Lord tries all whom he loves'
