Autograph letter signed : London, to William Angus Knight, 1894 November 5.

Thanking Knight for sending a clipping from The Scotsman: "It does indeed make me sad & indignant to read such things. I am sending on the paper to my solicitor, as I have been advised on no account to be drawn into a newspaper controversy"; writing that she suspects the paragraph in the newspaper was written by Stephen Coleridge: "... perhaps The Scotsman might be interested in learning that on the same day his amiable paragraph was published, I received a letter from Bernard C[oleridge]'s solicitor, accepting as a gift from me a thousand pounds worth of furniture & books which I left at Heath's Court over & above all that Lord Coleridge left to his son. Bernard C. asked for many little things & I gave them to him. I have a list of his requests in his own handwriting. I think he should not accept favours at my hands at the same time that he writes & speaks in such terms of his Father"; adding in a postscript "I am telling my solicitor that I think it is due to the memory of Lord Coleridge, who was generous to a fault & who died in harness that he might continue to the last the very large allowances he made to his sons & daughter to say that he made a voluntary settlement on his eldest son of a present £3000 a year & an ultimate nearly £5000 a year."
