Summary
Relating his visit to Holland House; saying "And what a glorious place it is! It is the sort of place you yourself ought to have. By right that sort of thing belongs to you! What literary associations crowd those walls; and how time seems obliterated as you linger in those great rooms;" adding "We have so much to thank you for that we can't refrain from wishing that every possible good thing may come to you. Our stay in London is being prolonged - so much of deep interest falls in our way day by day. Sir Joshua Fitch has been most kind in taking us to many things. He is so like you in his fine and sensitive feeling for the beautiful & the true that he has given us great happiness. We speak of you often & hope to see you again."
