Extent2 items
Date1859
DescriptionShe writes: 'I rejoice to see in the 'Times' the requisite solace to Sir W. Napier's feelings'. This leads her on to say that 'such a man ought to have the best obituary notice that can be had' and that she proposes to write one in advance of his death for the 'Daily News' so that it will not be done in a 'scrambling way' and asks for Graves's help. [Sir William Napier died the following year.] She ends with further news about the 'fag end of the Brougham and Edinburgh Review story'. With envelope addressed to Dove Nest
