Scope and content
2 Rue Lafitte. - Her grief at the death of Frederick Hankey - Houghton will understand more than anyone, except for her 'dear old friend [Studholme] Hodgson who has known [her] from a child almost'. People keep talking to her about money; she wants little, as she wrote to [Frederick's cousin] Thomson, and they will 'never hear recriminations' from her. Frederick was buried, with the help of money from friends 'not according to his religious principles but with every respect due to the family, friends and his memory'.
Asks Houghton to visit her when he comes to Paris, and to give her love to the Burtons. Adds postscript: has written to [Adolphe] Labitte and hopes he has done what Houghton wished.
