Fine Long Autograph Letter Signed to “My dear Lottie” saying how glad she is that she is “enjoying Scotland...

That David Oliphant who was killed in the bombardment of the Legations was a nephew of Dr Mansfield, Georgina Halliday’s husband, who is in Africa. If he has to stay there she hopes to go out to him.
