Bessie says she has more faith in her own intellectual judgement now: referring to former friendships with Marian Evans [George Eliot] and [John] Chapman, she says that a few years later she found her ‘faith had grown in the dark’. She also says that if she ever became really religious it would be ‘in the simple objective Catholic way’. She is glad Mary’s people like her. Partial letter only. One page, with a corner cut off.
