Summary
Sending him a copy "...of my dear wife's compilation. She never wrote anything else except a few entomological things for the Guardian (of which I corrected the Press) & therefore there are many misprints which you will easily discern...there is a prayer or two of mine but the whole substance of this book is hers. You are very welcome to use it in any way you like. It will please her if she now takes cognizance of things on earth - I enclose some hymns which we used to use - one of them is hers - the others are mine."
