Dear Sir

With sincerest congratulations upon the attainment of your 88^th birthday we venture to send you our little book "Home Life with Herbert Spencer". We wrote it with the intention —whilst not ignoring his idiosyncrasies — of showing up the warm-hearted side of his character [2] which could only he known to his intimate friends. As he so often spoke with admiration of your work and exceptional self abnegation we thought we should like you — particularly to know there was a sympathetic side to his nature.

With profound respect | We are truly yours | Rosa and Mabel Baker ("Two") [signature]
