Summary
Saying "Thanks for your note & the "London." I had not heard of Stevenson's book but will get it upon your recommendation. I hope, but confess that I can hardly believe, that it may justify all that you say. I hope that your wife is better. I have returned to the above address & to some [illegible]; for recent interruptions have thrown me terribly into arrear : but I shall now be at home till the end of July."
