To Lady Aimée Jean de Hoghton (1853-1919), wife of Sir James de Hoghton, apologizing for being unable to accept an invitation: "Many thanks & many regrets - for Alas! I am engaged at the 'eating hours' of next Thursday, but, if you will let me, I will try very hard to come in during the evening. But no one would imagine the work I have to get thro'. I feel under a wizard's spell like the princess in the fairytale, but no fairy godmother has come to help me. It is very kind of you to have thought of me [...]".

Traces of old mounting on the verso. Includes a small collector's note.
