Sent from Karl Pearson
13 Dec 1916
Description:
‘My dearest Wife
...
Helga & Egon both as usual last night & not too depressed as we all shall be tonight without Ling. I feel the parting badly and I expect Helga will be very bitter about it, but I do not see that we could go on with him alone all day and more than ever self-willed. I took him down to the R. Vet. Coll. today & Prof. McQueenie is going to give him a merciful death. I feel as if a big piece of one had gone! We have found somebody to take Meg’s daughter today & she is to go to Ireland, so that this will reduce our dogs to 10, the fewest we have had for a long span.
I trust you will not be disappointed in Sigrid’s state, but she is not a person who paints the worst and I fear she may be less fit than she writes. Her letter showed no sign of her in the least anticipating your visit.
Ever your loving husband,
K.P.’
