About This Item
11 Bloomsbury Square, London 16 May 1848. 4 pp. 9 x 7 inches, folds, in good condition. Spencer Timothy Hall (1812-1885), known as the Sherwood Forester, mesmerist and miscellaneous writer. His letter includes mention of the poets Richard Howitt and Bernard Barton. Alas for poor Walter Crisp Ellis, about whom you inquire! One Saturday last winter, he was negociating for me with my poor alienated wife, and fell dead whilst washing himself on the following Tuesday morning! I am mesmerising again, truly enough - and am as truly much engaged, just as you suppose; and, just as you also suppose, that is the only cause of my not writing more to my friends in whose kind remembrance and forgiveness I have perhaps more faith than I ought to have.
