Will you My dear Miss Dumas allow me the pleasure of leaving this trifling remembrance of our most pleasant visit to your family & to Paris - it is a little work by my favourite author Miss Edgeworth2, and has in my younger days been a source of great pleasure to me - it may perhaps tempt you and your young friends the Miss Edwards3 to pursue your study of the English language[.]
With grateful thanks to your Father & Mother for all their kind attention believe me to remain
My dear Miss Dumas | Yours most truly | S. Faraday
