Summary
Writing to ask if she will allow him to be the donor of the dormice "which no doubt have reached Blandford Square"; noting that they eat apples, nuts, corn, and require no drink, though they can be allowed a little milk; instructing her to make them beds of hay instead of wool; asking her to give "the young lady" (possibly May Morris, whom he often refers to as "Little May" in other letters) his love.
