Hoping that Mr. Harrison's drive did him good; John James Ruskin was glad to have missed him when he called today. He is having sent him twelve dozen bottles of fine sherry, which he hopes will help him, if taken to order. But only persevering exercise and air can cure jaundice--a "most dread and dreary malady," as John James Ruskin realized through having known it once in his own life. "Can you give me a single line to enable me to tell John how you are?"
