British children's author and illustrator (1846-1901) whose distinctively illustrated books were among the most popular 'juvenile' works of the Victorian age. ALS, four pages on two adjoining sheets, 4 x 6, no date. Letter to "Lady Lindsay," in part: "How kind you are, and how ungrateful you will think me when I tell you I can't come today—or either of the other two days—it is most provoking it should happen I have engagements on all of them—I like seeing people at afternoon teas so much and I like quiet talks with you…but I have been away so long, that now, I get more to do, than I can get through. However I know you will be forgiving, and let me come another afternoon to see you I could come the Thursday or Friday of next week, about 5…Do keep on with the Glycerine—I have great faith in it. I hope you are feeling stronger. Hampstead, looks lovely now. The colours are beautiful and the showers of leaves whirling about—so pretty and nice." In fine condition.
