Content description
Wishes to use tune of Eton Boating Song for words that came to her when she was semi-recovered from a blackout. This will be the first music at her funeral. Longs to sing it to her grandson Glen Swire (OE). Birley: 'I should say that the experience [of losing the fight for which he gained his boxing blue] would be nothing to the one that faces him of hearing his grandmother sing to him the words in this letter to the tune of the Boating Song'.
