To the novelist Jean Middlemass (1833-1919), hoping for a visit and asking for news: "Possibly you remember me? If you do, as I remember you very kindly & warmly, I should be delighted to see you again. Since the death of my husband I have been staying here with my youngest daughter Ethel, & I am at home every Sunday afternoon if anyone cares to come to see me. Do you ever see anything of Jessie Franklyn? I have not heard from her for years [...]". - On mourning stationery. Traces of old mounting, slight foxing to the fold and slightly rubbed on the verso.
