Nina writes sadly of the present cruelly earnest life and of the happy times in the past. Recently she has chatted with Olga Neruda and they recalled the wonderful evening when Brodsky and Edvard played the C minor together. Dayas was also there. Olga Neruda could not remain in London and Nina does not think it will suit Olga here, "a little difficult as she is herself". Nina is longing to be with the Brodskys by the fire and wonders if they will ever meet again; she recalls Edvard's words: "what happens is to our best". R.S. [Richard Strauss?] has been there and came to see Nina but she does not worship him as others do. Dated 7 Mar 1917.
