Wished to be present the previous night but has no desire to go anywhere - struggling with difficulties. Has written to Arthur Sullivan and encloses his reply. Bram Stoker has written to him but he cannot decipher his letter. Has sold furniture, plate, pictures etc. Only got £2,800 for house. Going away for a fortnight; may he have all the help he needs? |

| Notes: |
Sullivan's reply is probably a letter in THM/37/7/39 from 2 Queen's Mansions, saying he cannot take the initiative but will help. |
