About This Item
("C.L. Dodgson"), in black ink on blue one penny letter card, Christ Church, Oxford, June 3, 1892, with 13 Canterbury Road (in Carroll's hand on the verso). 6 1/4" x 5". 1 page. Fine fresh example. To Winifred Stevens: "My dear Winnie: Have you ever seen the Vernon Gallery, & the rest of the South Kensington Museum? If not, it will fit in with our plans on Wed. very nicely. Please let me know, that I may arrange with my cousin where to meet. Please bring some of your music to Guildford - and songs too, if you sing. . . The Key of the portmanteau is in that inner pocket." Winifred Stevens [later Lady Hawke] (1872-1958), had a friendship with Carroll that lasted over ten years. See Cohen, Letters, p. 679. This letter is not published there; but see the subsequent letter of June 4, 1892 to Winnie's mother, Mrs. H.N. Stevens, Cohen, pp. 906-07. On Wednesday June 8, Dodgson and Winifred went up to London, visited the So. Kensington Museum, saw Henry Irving and Ellen Terry in Lord Lyttons "Richelieu," and then went down to Guildford for two nights (Diaries pp 401-02). Carroll was age 50 at the time, Winnie was 20.
