Summary
Thanking him for the photograph of Wordsworth; "; saying "I think it most interesting & extremely like him as I remember him in the spring of 1849, the very time that he sat for this likeness. I have no other portrait of the Poet except a small photograph in an album - so I shall have this one framed & hang it under the oil painting of S.T.C. in my drawing room. Since I had the pleasure of seeing you, I have been reading your 'Life of Wordsworth', in the large edition, & have got to the 'Later Years in Dove Cottage'. All is full of interest to me;" expressing her hope that she will see him again next year in Malvern.
