Autograph letter signed : Brighton, to John Ruskin, [1877 Oct.].

Telling him he doesn't believe he was overworked but that he is resting now; saying "but O me how people tease about overwork--there's no overwork possible--its [sic] mankind that tires one not work--and I should have been so happy these last three months if it hadn't been for people--London grows to be pandemonium literally and after watching their ways for a couple of months I want to kill myself--since I can't kill them--this is quite serious--I am only tired out with seeing people I don't want to see--I no longer grieve at not seeing those I do want--I am ready to bargain with Fortune if only I may be a little at peace;" suggesting the possibility of traveling again with him to Italy, "not south of Assisi", next year; complimenting him on his paper on Scott; hoping they will see one another in London.
