It is taken from a manuscript book.very characteristic of her.I hope you will like it darling, I know you had an affection for her."

From Macchiavelli to Meredith and Masefield via Jane Austen and Anna Sedgwick.

Some slight patchybrowning at spine, corners slightly rubbed else very good with very clean text. Signedes.
