From Lawson Tait 14 February 1877
Birmingham
Feb. 14 1877
My Dear Sir,
I enclose another extract from my book which may interest you.1
In my review in the Spectator last Saturday by a stupid omission it appears as if I thought your industry does not attract attention because you are not at the prime of life.2 I presume however, you read my words as they were intended & not as they seemed.
Pray do not trouble to acknowledge this unless there is something in the proof you may want to know more about
Yours truly, | Lawson Tait
