Summary
Thanking her for the copy of "The Life" [of Cobden]; saying "Let me at once thank you for your kind gift, and congratulate you on the execution of the work...My estimate of your Father's noble qualities and splendid services hardly admits of being raised above the point at which it has long stood. If any thing had been lacking, such a work as Mr. Morley's would certainly have supplied the deficiency."
