Autograph letter signed with initials : Hastings, to William Allingham, [1854 May 7].

Reporting on Miss Siddal's health, noting that she appears no worse "either by her own account or in appearance" and that they took a walk with Barbara [Smith] and Anna Mary [Howitt]; inviting Allingham to visit him in Hastings and thanking him for the woodblocks (from Routledge), mentioning a drawing by Miss Siddal that "promises to be beautiful when drawn on the wood." Mentioning that Ruskin has hinted about "some grievous family misfortune" about which he presumes Rossetti has "perhaps heard already or at any rate will soon hear," and asking whether Allingham knows what Ruskin is alluding to.

1 item (4 p.) ; 18.4 cm. + envelope.
