My Dear Mother

Please to send me The Adventures of Jack the Giant Killer, <1> complete in 1 volume, with plates – Cinderella, and Jack & the Beanstalk –

Any two out of these three, but I prefer the 2 first. They are for Matilda’s <2> birthday on Wednesday therefore I want them sent by post.

Yrs affly

Henry


Notes:

1. Jack the giant-killer (Devonport: Samuel and John Keys, 1835). It grew out of oral tradition.

2. Matilda Caroline Gilchrist-Clark, ‘Tilly’, née Talbot (1839–1927), WHFT’s 3rd daughter.
