Autograph letter signed : Kingstown, to Dr. Baldwin, [1891] July 24.

Expressing his delight at receiving his letter, his telegram and a telegram from "the wondrous Katherine Loring, which conveyed their high delight & elation over your visit to Argyll Road. I expect a letter from her this evening or tomorrow morning. It was a rare blessing or mere 'fluke' that we caught you, as I had given you up for started, & it merely happened that a note from C.F. Woolson mentioned your being at the C.C. Hotel. I can not sufficiently thank you for taking a snatch of your hurried time - & when you only wanted a respite from eternal sickbeds - to go & see my poor, much-suffering sister. I won't attempt to say anything about her. Miss Loring will have told you, lucidly, all that was pertinent - & my sister too, if you saw her. It did seem worth while to try & catch at you as you passed, to extract some suggestion, if possible, of more then British ingenuity, as to the alleviation of pain. I wish I could see you to ask you a few questions as to your impressions of my sister's very complicated & utterly weak condition;" reminding him that when he sees him in September "your hotel then must be 34 De Vere Gdns. I am wholly better - really well - of even the horrid aftertaste of the pestilence. This place has suited me & I don't want to re-enter London till the 5th August or even the 10th if I can delay till then."
