Date: [1877], [Sept.], [17?] 
Document Type: Letter (5-11 p.)
Content Summary: ... She talks of a man of the age [possibly Layard]. The Turkish Fund goes well, the yacht is getting ready and gifts coming in. She reflects on the Turkish War. Mr Sinclair presented the prizes for her at the Baroness's Night School in the East. Messrs Bartlett, Hassard, White & Olney went with him and all spoke. Mr St John stayed at home with them. She was sorry not to be able to go. On Sunday she took her first walk in Devonshire Gardens. She mentions the Pollocks and Mrs Ellicott who seems quite in love with Mr Bartlett, who stayed with them for the Musical Festival. She does not think success in Society improves his manners. She may seem unkind about friends, but she likes talking to friends, and sitting near one "the tag end of a mother's blessing".
