Date: 1878, Dec., 16 
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: In response to Irving's letter of 11th he visited Mrs Irving on 13th. He reports on the state of her lungs which does not seem very serious. She was worse two months before. He would certainly not recommend her travelling to the South of Europe that late in the year, especially with the current weather on the Riviera. As a precaution she might go for the rest of the winter and the spring to Penzance or if that is considered too far - to Hastings under the Rock.
