Notes
Part of a collection of letters from Henry James to Dr. William W. Baldwin between 1887 and 1900 (MA 8732.1-75). This collection is part of a much larger collection of letters to Dr. Baldwin from authors, English royalty and other luminaries of the period, including Samuel Clemens, William Dean Howells, Sarah Orne Jewett, Henry Cabot Lodge, Booth Tarkington, Edith Wharton and Constance Fenimore Woolson. See MA 3564 for more information on the complete Baldwin collection.
The letter is simply dated "Wednesday / a.m." but it is possible the year of writing is 1907 and the month possibly June. James was in Rome at the Hotel de Russie from May 20 through mid-June 1907. Dr. Baldwin is listed as having offices at 25 Via Gregoriana in American medical journals in 1906.
Written from the "Hotel de Russie."
