Transcript or Index	Andrew Lee's Child Oct 7 /77 My dear Sir Many thanks: very many. Could you kindly give directions to some one as to the "small padded board" for the child: and charge it to me? I am ashamed to trouble you: but the parents are too stupid: & I have no one here who is clever about these things. About Mr Bismarck: Is there a Mrs Johnson? & if so is she at home, & would she receive him, the cat? And what is the name of the place? F.N.
