Allow me the pleasure, reverend and venerable friend, to send your kind Lady as a slight token of my appreciation of your manyfold acts of kindness a small souvenir. It is so trifling, that you cannot well refuse the acceptance of it. The whole is Victorian, both material and workmanship. The Reverend Dr Bleasdale, a learned oryctologyst here, has aided me in the selection.

I got it only today, the mail day; hence I could not get added a small inscription inside; but should you desire it, that might be effected readily in London or in your town.
