Notes
It appears that Ruskin dated the letter "1st March 1862", however, there is a penciled notation on p. 1 by Helen Gill Viljoen dating the letter to 1865. Underneath the date, Ruskin added a note saying "It does not seem a month to me since the first days of March last year when you came to help me so!" Ruskin's father died on March 3, 1964.
