Well, we won't tell Lilly Library. I just got this letter with the first 50 pages out of the library's manuscript collection. Helena's daughter had typed up a whole lot of her mother's letters to Molly Foote, a close and good friend. This has to do very quietly with the death of Minnie Temple, the inspiration for Henry James' "Wings of of Dove" Minnie was Helena and Henry's teenage buddy. Helena's first infatuation. Minnie has just died. "Open Image In New Tab" can give you a closer look.
