Mary Brock, 24 Gower street, London, to unnamed correspondent, 29 May ? (c. 1850s).
Dear Sir
My husband wishes me to say, with his kind regards, that he very much regrets his inability to help you with any votes for the Idict Asylum. He has promised all he has for successive elections till the child is secure.
Yours truly
Mary Brock
