| Description | At the beginning of this letter Elizabeth Taylor writes that she could not bear to think of her mother missing her help at home, adding that she had come to Paris to help the family financially. She refers to a bazaar at home which her mother and sisters were involved in.
Elizabeth provides an account of a German Meeting for Quaker worship which she had helped to organise, noting that she had played the harmonium. She provides an account of her recent activities including teaching hymns at an evening class, buying hats at the Bon Marche and visiting a hostel for homeless girls.
Elizabeth describes attending the Fete de la Jeunesse in Paris, where she had managed to get her party into a special enclosure near to the choir at the Oratoire. She also remarks on an amusing incident involving some German guests at a dinner party she had attended, noting that she had been allowed to borrow 'an enormous volume' of Mozart sonatas, being the only guest who sang and played secular music.
In addition Elizabeth remarks that she had argued with Madamoiselle de Broen about her decision to return home to England in July. |
