In his letter of 11 October 1864, Kindt had asked for the name of a photographer from whom he might buy a portrait of CD. Emma probably enclosed the photograph taken earlier in the year by William Erasmus Darwin (see letter from W. E. Darwin, [19 May 1864] and n. 8, and frontispiece to this volume).
