Scope and content
Informs him that at one time Mr Bryant, 'by his own admission, was in some degree over-indulgent in drink'. Believes that his alcoholism 'is a fault of the past', but admits that she has not seen him for a considerable period. Thinks that it had been about eight years previously that she first heard from him, having been vouched for to her 'by a common acquaintance [Hall Caine]'. Since that date she knows of his having been three times in the Holbourn Infirmary at Hampstead and twice in the All Saints Convalescent Hospital at Eastbourne.
