Notes
This letter is one of twenty-nine letters from Anne Jenkin to Henley, most of which are undated. A note in the collection files suggests the letters were likely written between 1878 and 1883.
Written from "67 Queen's Gardens."
The year of writing is not provided however the reference to the Rossetti exhibition at the Burlington Club likely sets the year as 1883. Rossetti's work was exhibited at the Burlington Fine Arts Club and at the Royal Academy in the winter of 1883.

Summary
Saying "I have been ill ever since I arrived - Influenza of a most venomous & altogether intolerable sort - I have seen no one - nothing - but have been abject in bed. I leave on Friday - but hope...to see the Rossetti on Thursday morning. Can you send me the ticket? I have taken a little doll's house here in town in which we propose to play at Marionettes for 6 weeks from the 6th of April - You & Mrs. Henley must often come & join in the game... I fear I shall not see you now - I have not yet been out & I have had to give up Volumnia on Saturday."
