12mo, 4 pp. Good. A bifolium, attached by a strip along the inner margin to a leaf removed from an autograph album, docketed 'Mrs. Hobart Hampden, Authoress of "The Changed Cross" '. Postscript written vertically across the upper part of the first page. Concerns a photograph of the recipient's mother: a 'sweet souvenir of such a rare & precious jewel as your dear & beautiful Mother; whom we feel it such a privelidge [sic] to see and to know'. Mrs Hobart-Hampden's 'dear Friend' looked at the 'Treasure [...] so lovingly & longingly that she wonders whether the recipient 'wd kindly give her the same delight as you have given me. If I am asking too much forgive and forget my request.' She is sure Miss Fox 'would gladly make an exchange' with the 'smaller one'.
