[90, Gloucester Place, Portman Square. W.] 4th July 1871 My dear Harry, Here is the autograph (on the next leaf) with the greatest pleasure. My principal complaint just now is hard work. A little while ago it was gout. Charley |
 |
was (I am glad to say) better when I last heard of him. Yours Ever W.C. |

NOTES
Harry is probably a family member. The signature requested is still with the
letter. So either it was not delivered or was kept intact with the letter.
