Letter from Dante Rossetti, London, to Barbara Leigh Smith Bodichon, 1876 February 18 : autograph manuscript signed.

Apologizing for not being able to drive with her next Thursday, as he is already engaged; sharing that when he got her note he was getting a few photographs together; noting that the two studies of his wife recall her to him, and he hopes they will do the same for Barbara; describing how he did the head before her death, and the little figure was done when they were all together at Hastings; sharing that the triple rose is meant for one head; describing the construction of a hamlet.
