Hampstead, 1898. Hampstead: 1898. Three pages. On her personal stationary. Octavo. (Measures 6 x 3 3/4 inches). To Mrs. Shaw thanking her for an invitation. 21st Feb. 1898 39, Frognal Hampstead, N.W. Dear Mrs. Shaw, I'm so sorry to hear you have had such a bad cold. I have been so fortunate and gone through the winter without one bad one- a wonderful thing for me.
