Dear Mrs. Shaw,

I'm so sorry to hear you have had such a

bad cold. I have been so fortunate and gone through the winter without one bad one- a wonderful thing for

me.

I think I would rather come one day and see you-When I should

see more of you instead of Wednesday, 20

of March -For I fear I

know nothing about Africa- I will
(truncated)
therefore give the card to someone else if I find anyone who is interested in the subject-

I get so very little time I have rather to dole it out- However I shall

hope to come one day

and see you when I

hope you will have quite

recovered.

Yours Very Sincerely Kate Greenaway

Thank you very much for sending me the card. I'm so tired- I've written

such a stupid letter.
