Notes:

1.  15 July [1888]
The year has been identified from the almanac. JW's Sunday breakfasts were famous meeting places for an artistic and literary circle. This invitation was presumably sent at some time in the previous week or two.

2.  Waldo and Ada Maud Story
Thomas Waldo Story (1854-1915), sculptor [more], and Ada Maud Story (1856-1932), née Broadwood [more]. See also #10663.
