Notes and topics

Alys wrote the date "12 Feb. '93" on this letter. The year 1893 has to be incorrect as BR did not propose until Sept. 1893.

Alys says "we" have just been to call on Lady Russell. Sir Frederick Pollock was there and, she says, justified his reputation as the rudest man in England.

The letter is incomplete.

The copy of this letter was replaced with the original in 2026.
