My dear Miss Coutts
Talking with Madame De la Rive this morning about Education I spoke to her of Your schools. I could not make up my mind to spare my copy of your book2 or else it would have gone to her:- but I find that they have been to your house & that you know the De la Rive’s[.] Is it a very wrong thing of me to think it possible you might like to send a copy of your practical work to them[.] They are at 21 Dover St until Monday when they return for a while to Geneva[.] I have perhaps said too much.- I dare say no more - ‘Tis your kindness that encourages me[.]
