(Maria, née Trotter, d. 1903, third wife (1875) of Francis Augustus Bevan, 1840-1919, the first chairman of Barclays Bank), saying she is deeply touched by the beautiful Bible, such a precious keep-sake from so valued a friend (if I may so call you) on her birthday, and the Writing Board, stocked with every possible requirement for note-writing...

May we therefore announce ourselves to tea for Thursday next, at 5.30 ?, embossed crowned monogram, 3 sides 8vo, White Lodge, Richmond Park, 4th December
