My dear Cousin

I do not know whether any Photograph of the Priory has been taken, & it has been so much altered by the present possessor that a picture as it is could be almost worthless to you.¹ I will however consult my sister—Violetta,² who will know more about it than I do, & if possible I will procure an engraving of the old place— I have a Photograph of the house in Full St Derby, where our grandfather lived from the time he left Lichfield, until he removed to the Priory, (some 20 years).³ I will gladly send that for your inspection, if you think it of consequence—

With best regards | Most sincerely yours | Reginald Darwin
