My dear Thanks for the photo which has come safely and altho it is not altogether successful as some of Hollyer's is nevertheless a pleasant reminder of the picture1 and will I am sure be valued at Mells where I meant to send it. I think as a photo H. might improve from the negative by magnifying it and doing it (like Mrs. Cameron's)2 with the lenses out of focus and if possible in red - don't you think he would like to try it so. I believe the cartoon [bi 6?] would photograph better but we won't try that of course. I hoped to have been down this week but have had a great many things to do and am tired being 'off piyfeedV but want to come. I have a little crystal flacon3 on my table with silver cup acorn size which I think must be yours. The housemaids found it.
