LEGATION Of Pelham his engagement
OF servants, and so on. That he took
no small trouble in this work is evident
from the minuteness with which he
enters into details Of how the gardener
and his wife were to go on Wednesday:
They are very nice people whom I
should like to attach to us, 1 have
promised to lend them q bed and n
other little articles of furniture we can.
Will you see, therefore that a bed Is
moved there, and o table and two chairs
and anything else serviceablo to them.
See that they have a fire in their house
on Wednesday, and send them supper
and beer there. / prefer that to their
supping at our house and being con-
taminated by our servants. See them
yourself, darling, and speak kindly to
them"
Then he goes on in another letter:

A daughter emily Elizabeth) was
born at Woodcot Gil June ~, 1928.
Lady Lytton writes, she was not al
lowed to nurse her child, rs it would
take up too much of her time from at
tendance on, and assistance to, her hus-
band in his literary labors it was there
fore sent out to nurse at o neighboring
farmhouse; and in consequence of the
separation, her eyesight became SO much
injured from weeping that she was or
dered to the seaside by her medical adj
wiser. The death Of this daughter on
April 90, 1S43, from typhoid fever,
forms, says Miss Dewey, another tragic
episode in the life of Lady Lytton, as
is fully explained by two letters at the
end Of the volume, one from Miss Kath-
crime Flanche ian eye-witness), the 9TH
er from the Baroness de Ritter, in whose
charge Miss Lytton had been placed.
Miss Lytton died at a small lodging
house, No. 81 Pelham place, Brompton,
and not, it appears, at Knebworth, as
stated in the daily papers. On July
II, 1923, he writes that he is vastly
troubled by four circumstances-frst Of
all. about ode puppy pedigree; sec
ondly, about de barley, which he
hopes is certain; thirdly, about raising
de money, which we can do! fourthly-

his dinners, his chances of being made

he asks her to: make one favor, which
is, that whenever 90 is vexed with me,
90 will not go out from me to our child!
Do not say, this is kinder to me, or
this loves me better than he does,' do
not let a being, however dear it neces-
sarily will, and ought to be to you, but
which is only just come into the world
in which | for three years have known
and loved you, do not let it be as dear
to you as one who has given and will
give you proofs of affection, which that
cannot for many years equal and which
it q never excel. That q creature
hitherto without sense, knowledge, feel
ing, attachment should at once become
dearer to you than I am, I do not aud

of us would indeed be utterly unworthy
of the other!"
