Scope and content
23 Rudall Crescent, Hampstead. - Is sorry that she cannot find the FitzGerald he asks about; it is not with the 'drawings of Naseby', which she has safe. Would 'not like to say the letter is not here', since though she has to some extent got her uncle's papers arranged, but finds 'every day, in what neat confusion they are. It is not easy to get them into order when the rubbish as well as the valuable things of some seventy years are neatly docketted in paper bags'; her uncle seems to have destroyed nothing and she does not like to destroy what he has preserved. Will send the letter on if she finds it.
