- Scope and Content:
- "My Dear Redgrave, thank you for your note. I bothered you with the enquiry as I really did not know the present mental state of poor T & the uncalled for 'flummery' of his epistle made me all the more doubtful --My wife suggested 'drink' as the cause of his hyperbolical language! -- In either case he might not have been in condition to deal with money receipt -- I took your advice as to the amount I sent as I felt you were counselling from experience, but I made it a donation pure and simple, for I always feel that lending in such cases is a farce & only leads to one's being bothered with useless correspondence --Thank Mrs Redgrave for her note - the '[...]' story is capital. I shall be very happy to talk over the Norwich School with you both I suppose you will be in town in the beginning of Nov! Kindest regards, Yours in haste, J.C. Horsely."
