SIR,--It is like your confounded impertinence to overhaul the

few things I sent to Miss Gore-Langley, and had I known that you

would have had the opportunity of seeing what my wife insisted on

sending I should certainly not have permitted their despatch.

I have already told you what I think of your ridiculous claims to

kinship with my family, and shall undoubtedly try to thwart any

impudent attempts you may make to acquire my discarded belongings.

The photograph you mention was of course accidentally included in

the parcel, and I am sending for it.

Yours faithfully,
