- Scope and Content:
- Writes from Royal Bath Hotel, Bournemouth. States that he is there "in the hopes of gaining strength." Despairs of getting well, though. Discusses a "dreadful cloud of depression" that weighs on him and trying to refrain from fits of crying. "[S]ince this last attack I have felt more or less in a bad dream." Says that he has heard that Calderon is back at the Royal Academy but also suffering from depression. "My only hope is to get back to my work..." Handwriting is a bit weaker, more widely spaced, than in previous letters.
