Dear Sir,
I am writing to thank you for the very great favour I enjoyed yesterday in being allowed to see the books and the miniature of which I had so often read and which were intensely interesting to me from the profound admiration I have for the genius of your aunt "George Eliot". I am venturing to hope that you may be willing to entrust these most precious things with me for a short time so that
I may have them reproduced. I appreciate their great value and would guard them most closely.
With renewed thanks
Yours faithfully
S.H. Leeder |
