Autograph letter signed to C. Lucas,
saying I send my gardener with this, mindful of your kind offer to let me have a little pig or two... the skim milk calls out to be consumed, my cook says... I don't know what I can offer in return. Private boxes are a drug to you, and you don't paint pictures, so as to be open to the offer of a puff, with a contemporary unsigned photograph showing him seated, in near profile half length, 3 sides 8vo., Lavender Sweep, [Clapham], 15th May
