MS Charlotte Mitchell/Cobweb-4

My dear Cobweb,

I am glad to tell you that no one has passed you, though Firefly is your equal, in the number of votes, and I therefore should like to know which of Mother Goose’s works you would like best to have- only do not expect it immediately as I should like to have it bound for you.

Thank you for letting me see the photograph I am glad you have got it as it is much better than the only one I have now to give away The broken negative was not quite so good as this.

Humble Bee, Irene and Stormy Petrel1 are the three best this time

your affectionate

Mother Goose

1Stormy Petrel, or Petrel, was a member of the Gosling Society, but her identity is uncertain.
