My dear Sir,

You will be glad to hear that my friends the Sandwiths1 took compassion on my loneliness, and have given me a home in their house till I get convalescent. My chances of recovery are certainly doubled by this kindness on their part. Please don’t trouble to answer this Letter.2

Yours very truly | Winwood Reade
