To Charles Kent Esq
1 Campden Grove, Kensington, W
Ah! my dear old friend, how good and thoughtful of you and what a perfectly acceptable gift!
'though fallen on evil days
on evil days though fallen and evil tongues'
(vide to-day's Times)
I am receiving such evidences of love and sympathy from my friends, and such kindness from officials here, that I am fairly broken down by them.
God bless you
