2pp., landscape 12mo. 28 lines of text. Fair, on lightly-aged paper, with slight damage to one corner. Addressed to 'Dear Professor Chorley', the letter begins: 'I do feel we owe you a very great deal for coming on Saturday. Every body seemed pleased with the meeting and that was mainly due to the chief speaker. They liked what you said and who said it.' Considering the demands on Chorley's time, she is grateful to him for not cancelling the engagement, and for the fact that he did not 'pour coals of fire' on her head for the 'silly mistake about the train'. 'In fact, for some things you ought to be scolded: but I do not find it hard to reciprocate your spirit of forgiveness.' She hopes that next time he visits he 'will see something of the country round Sheffield and that I shall be again in walking form'. She asks for notes on his lecture, and for his 'full expenses - from door to door'. She concludes in the hope that she will be able 'to write M.P. after July'.

1p., 4to. Bifolium. In good condition, on lightly-aged paper. Addressed on reverse of second leaf to 'Mr Silas O Smith | Rochester'. The letter begins: 'Dear Sir | During my short sojourn at your city last October, I had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of your daughter. Since my return a correspondence has taken place between us in which she has given me permission to visit her & to entertain the hope that she may be persuaded to exchange the protection of the best of Parents for that of a husband. Should I be so fortunate as to obtain the sanction of those Parents to such a mesure | May I hope for the approbation & blessing of those Parents'. In a final paragraph he points out that his 'happiness is involved' in Smith's decision. From the papers of the couple's daughter Marie de Grasse, Lady Evans (d.1920), wife of Sir Francis Henry Evans (1840-1907).
