Summary
Informing her that she has sent a packet of forty letters from "our beloved St. C. [Ruskin] which I ask his gracious permission to use as I find occasion in my memorial [for Edward Burne-Jones];" asking if she might forward them to George Allen after Ruskin has approved her use of them so that she could get a timely approval from Mr. Allen;" adding, in a postscript, that she is worried about the letters going on to Mr. Allen and would like them not to be forwarded unless she absolutely must have his approval to use them.
