Re Harriet.
Tylor is following up his letter of 17 October to BR regarding Harriet, quoting a letter from Taylor: "Mrs. Unwin consents to the alteration in her birth certificate. She hopes that it can be effected in a way which will not further expose her to journalists.
Mrs. Grace is prepared to make the necessary declaration provided that two facts are clearly brought out, namely: (1) that at the time (though he changed his mind later) Lord Russell wished the child to be registered as his own; (2) that she was never asked to state who the child's father was, but only who her husband was."
Tylor calls the first condition put forth by Dora "troublesome".
[Harriet's married name was Unwin. Later it was Ward.]
