Summary
Loose sheet from the manuscript dummy HIL.R.34 containing a pencil-written rhyme, and a rough pencil illustration of a mouse holding a large envelope and standing beside a candle and a large stick of sealing wax. This sheet was slipped in between pages 12 and 13 of the dummy book. The rhyme is a continuation of HIL.R.34.1 and HIL.R.34.2. I'll put them in an envelope/ With sealing wax above -/ I'll send them back to Lucie -/ I'll send them with my love! See also HIL.R.34, the dummy book; HIL.R.34.1 - HIL.R.34.2 and HIL.R.34.4 - HIL.R.34.49, further rhymes and illustrations.
