Fine Autograph Letter marked 'Private' to 'Dear Stephens', telling him that "Richborough permits & letters received. Behanalls (?) & Cookey's letters received herewith. Selection with regard to turning over of Richborough duly noted. I'm afraid - however, I can't do it before the 28th but if I can I'll let you know. The minute I try to do a thing to amuse myself I'm promptly blocked with stuff that I have to do which isn't even interesting; and the coming week which I thought was going to be free is simply 'full up'. I'm off to town tomorrow if the local horse can move over the ... roads ...", 2 sides 8vo., Bateman's, Burwash Sussex, 2nd February slightly worn
