Autograph Letter Signed ('C. L. Eastlake') to Miss [?] Rogers.

Two pages, 12mo. On gray paper. Good, though lightly ruckled and aged. He thanks her for the 'information about the silk', and accepts her invitation. He haad intended to call on her the day before, but was prevented by the weather. He 'consoled' himself 'by supposing that I should meet you at Mr Rogers's where I dined, but where you were not.' Comments that his correspondent's note 'is not in your handwriting, moreover it is written by an inexperienced secretary for she began "My dear Mr E" & then scratched out the my finding it was an innovation in the official form.' He has received a letter 'from the new Director [of the 'school of design'] who is to be in town on Friday. Mr Ker will think himself privileged to give you an account of the invitation of his new protege'.
