(Edward Augustus, 1823-1892, Historian), thanking. her for sending him “such a long letter at such a time; and to give such a full account of your Father’s last illness - and I cannot tell you how much it has interested me. It is very difficult to realise that he is gone in the very height of his great powers, for that third Sicily volume quite equalled anything he had ever done...I have written a short paper on the debt that geography owes to your Father, as I felt that some recognition of his great services to that science ought to appear in the Proceedings of the Geographical Society. Mr York Powell has kindly helped me... I thought the lines you send me so admirable that I have quoted them in my paper... Will you kindly let me know whether there is any objection to my quoting them in this way?... I feel for you all so much in this most sad home coming...”, 3 sides 8vo, on crested paper, Neri, 6th May
