Allen Raine : A Welsh Singer: A Novel

'Am feeling in a happier frame of mind than I have been for a long time, for a letter from Nora came at tea telling me the best news that I could possibly hear, that your Doctor says that you will really get well ... I wonder if you wile away much time by reading. You should do, for there are lovely books which I have had some happy hours with, even out here. Whatever you do, don't get thinking hard, unless those thoughts are happy ones. I have this evening finished a beautiful book called "A Welsh Singer" by Allen Raine. I feel that I must get hold of more of her books. Most of Baroness Orczy's are fine too. If you come across an extra good story, just tell me the name of the Author. Perhaps I can get it here ... It is now late and I must go to bed. Have had a nice basin of soup.'
