Has been trying to collect letters of her husband as she intends writing a memoir on him [Memoir of Augustus De Morgan (London, 1882)]. Would be grateful if she could borrow any of his letters to JH.
Was just leaving home when her note arrived. If the letters have not been already dispatched send them in a few weeks' time.
Sending 35 letters, has 20 more that she will send later if she would like to see them. Wishes she had the photographs of insects. Thinks an appendix of all the riddles would be amusing.
Has received the packet of letters and has chosen 28 of them. Quite understands that some of the more personal ones should not be included in the memoir. Her strength does not seem equal to the task. Hopes to show the true events connected with University College. Budget of Paradoxes is ready for the press.
