Dodgson (Charles Lutwidge, "Lewis Carroll"). Sylvie and Bruno Concluded, 1st edition, London: Macmillan and Co., 1893, illustrations by Harry Furniss advertisements at end, light spotting to half title, frontispiece and title, 1pp, advertisement leaf tipped-in to half title verso, all edges gilt, original red cloth gilt, some fading to spine, later morocco-backed slipcase, a little rubbed, 8vo (Qty: 1) Williams, Madan, Green & Crutch 250. Presentation copy, inscribed to half title: "Mrs Richards, with the Author's sincere regards, Dec. 28, 1893". On 13 December 1881 Carroll wrote to Mrs F W Richards concerning 'Child Friends', Ethel Barclay and Marion Richards and a proposed trip to the pantomime at Brighton. Letters are recorded to Marion Richards on 26 October 1881 and 8 February 1886. On 6 August 1881 Carroll had become reacquainted with Marion Richards and four others including Edith and May Miller. In 1894, when May was 25 years old, he records 'Dear May Miller was engaged to dine with me, but Mrs Miller wrote to say that there was "so much ill-natured gossip" afloat, she would rather I did not invite either girl without the other. No doubt it is Mrs Richard's doing: she means well, but it is a pity she should interfere with other people thus'. (Letters p. 1034).
