| Evidence: | 'My dear Miss Sorabji
My husband & I were so distressed at the sad news contained in our paper today that I cannot refrain from sending you a few lines of sincere sympathy with you & yours in this great loss.
I remember reading your brother in law’s book with much interest.
Truly her & his wonderful influence will be most widely missed. Was your sister with him at the end?
With my kind love
Yours very sincerely
Sibyl W Roffes'
