ALS, six total pages, 4.5 x 7, 34 De Vere Gardens letterhead, no date but circa 1897. Letter to Mrs. Seymour, in part: “How more than kind your note—& how terrible to be of a habit so perverse & unworthy that I don’t reply straightway knocking at your door! I am greatly touched by the generosity of your thought of me & the altogether noble account of your hospitality. I have fled from town, but to occupations that preclude visiting & make me even at one who said dismal things…The Victorian Saturnalia appall me—…Some day I shall be delighted—impracticable wretch as I am—to come & spend a Sunday with you—the poor predestined limit of my rare country visiting. Please believe in the appreciation that I meanwhile have of your liberality; which I like to think owes something (I mean the liberality itself) to the very oldtime attachment…that will perhaps enable you to let me call myself your very faithful & old friend.” In fine condition.
