Written from the "Grand Hotel" on mourning stationery engraved "Bronte / Sicily.
The year of writing is not provided however he writes on the family stationery. He assumed the title of the 5th Duke of Bronte in 1904 on the death of his father. It is possible this letter follows on the previous letter to Baldwin (MA 9781.28) in which he thanked Baldwin for his "kind care" of him.
Mourning envelope to "Doctor W.W. Baldwin / Trinita dei Monte." It appears this letter was hand-delivered to Baldwin in Rome therefore it is likely that Hood was also writing from Rome.
