Westminster Embankment S.W. March 14th 1890. Dear Mr Whitman,
Thy cheering card of March 2nd came today, just as I am starting off for the country with the babies. It is always cheering to hear from thee, thy messages bring a breath of fresh air. It is the best object lesson that any one could possibly have to read they thy description of thyself as in buoyant spirits. It always helps me to see thy handwriting and to read thy words.
I am very busy as usual. England is not like America "taking stock" and resting, it is on the contrary very active politically. I am sending the the "Review of Reviews," that most interesting of journals. I wish thee would write a letter to the editor. He would be sure to print it. Women are taking their share here in all that it is going on, but this means of course a great deal of work for those who are most interested in things. I have not time to send a longer letter now but I will write soon again.
With love Thy friend Mary Whitall Costelloe
