From Grant Allen 29 May 1879
22 Bonchurch Road. | North Kensington. W.
May 29. 79.
My dear Sir,
I had seen Delboeuf’s review already.1 I was very pleased at it, but much more so at your kindness in calling my attention to it, and at the interest which you are good enough to take in it on my account. I feel far more proud of your postcard than of any number of reviews.2
Yours very sincerely, | Grant Allen.
