Thanks for his note. All is progressing satisfactorily and he hopes a stay in Bournemouth will stimulate convalescence. At the present rate he hopes to be at work again by Easter. (Irving:) He has just been chatting with the Baroness [Burdett-Coutts] about old times. She is herself again and looks just the same. He wishes he and Hassard could meet more often.

'My dear old friend,
Believe me I never forget you - you are very often in my thoughts and I have deeply sympathised with all your anxieties. I have had a rough time but am now nearly recovered and only need sunshine and rest. I saw Santley in Glasgow and we talked much of you. He is a good and true friend. I hope that we will meet soon and 'talk our battles over'. God bless you.' |
