Notes
This letter is one of twenty-nine letters from Anne Jenkin to Henley, most of which are undated. A note in the collection files suggests the letters were likely written between 1878 and 1883.
Written from "3 G't Stuart Street / Edinburgh" on stationery engraved with the address.
The year of writing is not provided however the reference to the Rossetti exhibition at the Burlington Club likely sets the year as 1883. Rossetti's work was exhibited at the Burlington Fine Arts Club and at the Royal Academy in the winter of 1883.
