c/o British bia Consulate, Scutari, Albania, Turkey in Europe. Dated March 13 - Has been reading his book on Taboo, sees he has quoted her notes on Albania, and sends more, including one told her by Holman Hunt of a reluctance to have portraits painted lest the portrait be admitted to heaven first on the Day of Judgment; thinks that unless Europe interferes it is likely the North Albanian Christian will disappear; Prenk Pasha is a man of 'no capacity' but looked on as sent by God; she is the centre of a myth, is supposed to have cured a man shot in the head, rather than the doctor who saved him.
