Description
In her final letter to Yeats, written shakily in pencil in February 1932, Lady Gregory offers a crafted and moving expression of farewell: “I do think I have been of use to the country— & for that in great part I thank you. I thank you also for these last months you have spent with me—your presence has made them pass quickly and happily in spite of bodily pain, as your friendship has made my last years—from first to last fruitful in work, in service. All blessings to you in the years to come.”
