Dear Madame:

Some time ago I finished a Play entitled *George Eliot's Love Story* in which Agnes Lewes appears in one Scene. She is aged thirty-one at the time and I should be very glad to know if you, or any member of the family, have in their possession drawings or photographs showing her as she was about that time.

If such exist they would be of great assistance to the Producer who is to handle the Play.

I need hardly say that anything lent, whether originals or copies, would be treated with the utmost care.

Am I correct in assuming that Mrs. Hopwood and Mrs. Hanson still survive? If so, I should like also to get in touch with them or with their children if I may trespass further on your kindness by asking for their addresses, and for the names and addresses of your children and theirs.

I have the honour to be,

Dear Madame,

Over.

P.S. There is one other point on which I should like to trouble you. I believe Mrs. Bertie Lewes returned to this country in 1878 after the death of her husband in South Africa. Could you tell me whether she and her son and daughter, Herbert and Marian, are still in this country.

P.S.S. The enclosed circular may prove of some interest to you.
