Autograph Letter Signed to ‘My der Lucy’
starting “Do I remember the story of The Woman who had Genius? Can I ever forget it! I stuck it in the copy of your Last Touches given to you in - well, as you say, years do tell such tales!

Of course, as Agnostics, we do not and cannot deny, neither but I don’t want to burn the first page of your letter because that is a valuable human document...”, 2 sides 8vo., Aldeburgh, 25th February
