{London,] 30 June 1890 

Thank you very much for the many and various items you sent me; I 
tried to get hold of the no. of the Daily Telegraph*” but did not succeed, 
having been unable to tell the chaps on which day the article had 
appeared; they also said the number had probably been sold out. You 
never get any information out of clerks over here when it’s a question of 
a transaction to the value of one penny! 

Your 
EE.
