Scope and Content:
Dated only "13th December" and sent from the "Athenaeum Club Pall Mall." Expresses pleasure that his address was well received as condemnation carries "with it great danger of obscurity..." He writes that he has steered clear of such problems. Says that he is very "shocked and grieved at the death" of his "old friend" Browning. This last comment possibly dates this letter to 1889, the year in which Robert Browning died.
