*Ruskin (John, 1819-1900). Two autograph letters signed, 'J. Ruskin', Winn[ingto]n, 12 October [1864], to his mother Margaret, I was pleasantly surprised by the packet this morning - with your pretty little notes on the two ends. It was a pleasant packet too, for it contained the first nice message from Rosie that I've had for ever so long I wrote to Mrs L [La Touche] that I wanted her to make some purses and bags for my money for me, and she apologizes for this one's not being pretty by telling me it is of Oriental stuff which Rosie says represents in its pattern, "a heart's-ease in the middle of a rose and it must be sent to St C" [St Crumpet, Rose La Touche's pet name for Ruskin]. Lily is very lovely sight just now - she is so exactly what a girl ought to be - not a bit of showiness or display in her dress or ways - nor even any of the unavoidable and perpetual conspicuousness which there is in the faces of some pretty girls, whether they like or not. Lily always gives one the idea, I don't know how, of having just come out of a nursery where she has been taking care of her younger brothers and sisters - and has a curious little careful look and way, with all her fun, which reminds one of what one usually sees in poor children - She has been growing fast taller, but her face remains small - so that the proportion is far more beautiful than it was - and she has a little quiet dainty frock, striped dark blue and white with a little bossy dark blue knot like the tiniest bud of hollyhock, here and there about it - and it altogether is something unspeakable. I am so very sorry for my bad writing - but you wouldn't like me to write carefully - so here it is as it comes', 4 pp. on black-edged mourning paper, the second letter dated Sunday [16 October 1864] with reference one more to Lily 'who is a great joy to me. I was not wrong about the little blue-striped frock - it has been made in Paris for her, & sent over: but it isn't showy in the least; only just right... ', 2 pp. on black-edged mourning paper, plus a third incomplete letter to his mother, being the final leaf, signed J. Ruskin, probably Dublin, 18 May 1868, written a day or two before his visit to Dr Evory Kennedy at Belgarde, with reference to the Kennedys and the Lawrences, also Serjeant Armstrong and Lily, 'Lily, my Lily of the Ethics of the dust, is therefore lady of the house, for her mother leaves nearly everything to her - she is not quite 18 - perfectly simple, gentle and resolute - the nurse and firm governess of the younger children - and the most beautiful creature in face and form I ever saw anywhere - but she has none of Rosie's genius, or wild spiritual nature - For a perfect woman, I never saw Lily's like: with her dark-eyed delicate head and white shoulders and long white satin dress, at a full dress party on Saturday she was like a princess of the Arabian nights - and was up at half past five next morning to get me my coffee and taken me a five-mile walk before breakfast with one of her younger sisters but without the slightest change from the child-simplicity of her school days. Her mother is gentle and nice - and very kind to us', 2 pp., all 8vo All published in Van Akin Burd (editor), The Winnington Letters: John Ruskin's Correspondence with Margaret Alexis Bell and the Children at Winnington Hall (1969), letter numbers 324, 326 & 464. The letters and books in these Ruskin lots come from the family of Lily Kevill-Davies (nee Armstrong) by direct family descent. (3)
