Summary
Saying "You may remember some years ago going to see a portrait of Mary Wordsworth painted by Miss Gillies, at the house of Mrs. Charles Lewes, in Cambridge Terrace. Mrs. Lewes would be glad to make a gift of this portrait to the Wordsworth Society, if it possesses a local habitation, or, if not, in such way as seems best - Will you tell me what you think she had better do?"
