Manuscript copy of a letter : London, to John Ruskin, [1881] Feb. 13.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/759857994

Thanking him for his letter and the assurance that "I have not lost your regard as I feared;" telling him that "the two hours which you once gave me in the South Kensington Museum left me richer in new knowledge than any two hours which I can remember;" discussing, at length, certain events surrounding the death of Carlyle; asking for his help with the Carlyle biography; telling him that "I had to refuse Westminster Abbey peremptorily. He [Carlyle] had insisted that he should be taken to Scotland--Haddington ought to have been the place, but some difficulty was raised (I know not what) a few years ago. And Ecclefechan was ordered instead."
