Autograph letter signed : London, to William Angus Knight, 1891 July 14.

Concerning her father's letters from Wordsworth and his family and discussing various portraits of her father; sending him "...20 letters of W.W. and 13 of the Ladies of his family all of which I have marked with my Father's initials as we are very conscious not one should be lost or mixed up among other letters, which without any carelessness might easily occur among the numbers you must be handling without some such sign of proprietorship[.] We attach increased importance to these letters since we have been told of a nasty letter of Wordsworth's blaming my Father for the delay in the publication of the pamphlet. Mr W.'s own letters seem quite enough to dispose of this charge and the affectionate courteous grateful letters of the ladies of the family put a completely different coloring on the question;" discussing portraits of her father and saying she considers the "...crayon drawing by Archer much the best we have of my Father" but adding that she has no record "in this shape' of the time when he was in Grasmere; she mentions a bust of her father by John Steell but adding she has no right to it except gratitude to the owner who had it commissioned and who gave them a copy of it; saying she is "...proposing to have a good photograph of the crayon drawing made to send to my brother Colonel de Quincey in New Zealand and I would gladly have another copy made if such would be at all useful for your purpose;" saying she hopes to see him again when he is in London; adding on a separate sheet, "13 letters of Dorothy's & Mrs. Wordsworth's, mainly Dorothy's / 20 letters of W.W."
