". . . Richard has not been ill more so than you remember him but some spiteful person put a para[graph] in the English papers that he was 'dying deserted & alone in a London Lodging' & you have my answer. We had a delightful winter in Africa, Tunis, Algiers . . . . I hate the thought of settling in London . . . ."
Written a few months before Sir Richard's death.
