He gave it to me some time before he died, and used to read to me and my sisters from it when we were children."

Blackwell annotated this letter with the RL number 587, along with bibliographical details.

Edward Lear's Nonsense Books (Russell's Library, no. 587) was acquired by the archives in 1982.
