DODGSON, Charles Lutwidge ("Lewis Carroll", 1832-1898). Autograph letter signed ('C.L. Dodgson') to Mrs Symonds, 7 Lushington Road, Eastbourne, 2 August 1888, forwarding news from Isa [Bowman], who sends her love and reports her children's enjoyment of a diary which Dodgson had composed on her behalf, 'I am so glad I thought of writing that Diary for her'; he invites Mrs Symonds and her children to visit, 'Perhaps I may have some "child-friend" here whom they can pet "ad libitum". (When once they have reconciled themselves to her abnormal age! For, if one comes at all, it will most likely be either Edith, or Angela, or Irene Barnes: their ages being 20, 17 and 15!)', 2 pages, oblong 8vo, envelope.
