Fine Autograph Letter Signed, to his physician Arnold Royle
thanking him for his letter and saying he is "sorry you had so bad a passage, going South. I am very well, saving a cough, which I got two days ago after my arrival & which I can't shake off - though it shakes me nearly off. The Duchess is much better, thanks to Hoffmeisters's treatment, which agrees very well with her - The Grand Duke arrives here on Monday & not on board the 'Osborne' as you had arranged! I shall not want you here at all - but you with Mrs Moreton & Yorke must meet the Duchess & myself somewhere on the 13th 'en route' for Blythewood. Perhaps at Glasgow but I will let you know place & hour - with kind remembrance to Mrs Royle & love to my godchild (or vice versa) ...", 3 sides 8vo., on his crested black edged mourning paper, Balmoral Castle, 23rd September
