8I have got your note. I have not published many things besides those
9you mention. There is an allegory in the Fortnightly for August 1887,
10I think that is right. I am sure as to the year but not the month, &
11some other short things I have published in different papers. But they
12have all been collected into a volume & will soon be published.
13
14I am so grateful that anything I have written should in anyway have
15helped.

17Yours very sincerely

20If you will write to my friend
21Miss Alice Corthorn

24She will tell you when & where the little volume is to be published. I
25do not myself know as I have left the M.S. in the hands of friends.
