Postmarked 'Clapham Rise'. Sent to Sir Edward Ryan at Garden Lodge, Addison Road, Kensington. Enclosing copy of an epitaph by Thomas Babington Macaulay on Lord Metcalfe.

MS note in hand of G. M. Trevelyan at the top of the letter: 'Copy of letter of T. B. M.'s Announcing Hannah's engagement to Charles E. Trevelyan and describing him to his other favourite sister Margaret Cropper. Quoted largely but not fully in the Life and Letters [of Lord Macaulay, by G. O. Trevelyan]. The parts there omitted are here erased in pencil by G. O. T...' An asterisk in red pencil by the last sentence matches with a note to the side, also in red and in an unknown hand: 'Not in fact so.

We should like if agreeable to you to have all concerning Margaret published, as this letter happens to put before one exactly his feelings to his two favourite sisters - & is both curious and touching. E. & M. C.' G. M. Trevelyan adds: 'The Croppers' note to G. O. T. in sending him a copy of this letter for his biography. A generous note'.
