Letter from Philip Henry Stanhope, 5th Earl Stanhope, to Lord Houghton
HOUG/B/M/7/33 · Part · 27 Mar. 1874
Part of Papers of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton

13 Belgrave Square. - Condolences on the death of Lady Houghton; discusses his recent loss of his own wife. Will of course vote for Augustus Hare in the ballot for the Athenaeum next Monday and do all he can for him; does not think this will be needed given Hare's 'literary claims & his popular character', and Houghton must not think of coming to town solely for that purpose.
