With letter from Lamb to "Dear Mrs H.", written round the borders of the drawing. It is unsigned, undated and may be a copy. The letter gives an account of the fall of a friend, George Dyer, into the river beside Lamb's house. (Mrs H. was probably Mrs Hazlitt, wife of William Hazlitt, essayist and journalist, close friend of Lamb).
