Hello,

I found this picture, thought I should share it here. This photo is taken by Lewis Carroll.  ;)

Thanks so much!  What a great picture - she's really staring us down from 1875 there! :D

Sylvia's older sister - Daphne mentions her in her letter to Nico.

No problem ecb ;)
I will have to read that letter again, I don't remember her mentioning Trixie.

It's on the last page of the 1963 letter where she is commenting about the Morgue, which Nico must have lent to her (and also Angela).  She calls her "Trixy" and mentions her horror at finding her son in bed with his fiancee and also a falling out between "Trixy" and Sylvia.
