- Scope and Content:
- Rossetti hopes that Heaton has received the autographs and photographs he gave to Christina Rossetti to pass on to Heaton. He tells Heaton that Lady Ashburton was delighted with the <title>Joan of Arc</title> and <title>Sir Galahad</title> and was disappointed she could not have them.
