Date: November 28, 1858
Addressed To?: Charlotte Symonds
Importance?: Not listed
Owned?: No, but later requested. At this time, however, it seems to a homework assignment which would have only required access to a singular passage.
Evidence: "In the evening Greek Prose from Prescott's Peru" (listed in notes as potential translation of the work into Greek prose
