Dear Mrs. Trollope
I enclose the best photograph within my reach. To me all portraits of him are objectionable because I see him more vividly and truly without them. But I think this is the most like what he was as you knew him.
I have sent your anecdote about the boy to Mr. Dumaurier, whom it will suit exactly. I asked Charles Lewes to copy it from your letter with your own pretty words of introduction.
Yours affectionately
M. E. Lewes.

M. E. Lewes.
