LETTER

Eliza Brightmen, The Grove, Great Stanmore, co. Middlesex to [Miss Eva Thomas] thanking her for letting her see the result of [Miss Thomas's] kind treatment of butterflies and asks her to try the same kindness to other insects from which interesting results might follow. She also states that she now has three perfectly tame drones that she had saved from dying of cold and hunger some months previously; these like being stroked and show no signs of fear when taken on ones hand.
