1p., 4to. She thanks her for her letter, and agrees to inscriber her bookplate. 'I am so glad that you have got "The Malady in Madeira"; I do hope you will enjoy it, especially as you know Madeira. I think it was rather fun, and the plot really up-to-date.' She thanks her for advertising her books as well as buying them, calling her 'the perfect fan!' The letter concludes: 'I don't in the least mind being classed with all the ladies you mention, though I am ashamed to say I have never read a word of any of them.'
