Fine Autograph Letter Signed to her friend Mrs Belfield
sending “our autographs... What a terrible shock it must be to poor Major Barttelot’s parent to know that he really is killed. Sir Samuel is quite sure that Stanley is all right but it is a difficult and hard task to travel through Africa- it is not so easy as some people may imagine it to be! Ethel went to Teignmouth to collect some creatures for her aquarium. She has a lovely day for it - what beautifully warm weather... I am sorry to say that I have not seen dear old Mrs Huddelstan for some time. I have not been able to go out for many days, as I caught a cold, but I feel much better... We shall go off to India next month but Agnes and Ethel will remain at home this winter...”, 4 sides 8vo., with original autograph envelope, Sandford Orleigh, Newton Abbot, 20th September no year but
