Letter: to Mr. And Mrs. Thomas Stevenson

Name: Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson— Volume 1 - Letter: To Mr. And Mrs. Thomas Stevenson
Author: Robert Louis Stevenson

WENSLEYDALE, BOURNEMOUTH, SUNDAY, 28TH SEPTEMBER 1884.

MY DEAR PEOPLE, - I keep better, and am to-day downstairs for the first time. I find the lockers entirely empty; not a cent to the front. Will you pray send us some? It blows an equinoctial gale, and has blown for nearly a week. Nimbus Britannicus; piping wind, lashing rain; the sea is a fine colour, and wind-bound ships lie at anchor under the Old Harry rocks, to make one glad to be ashore.

The Henleys are gone, and two plays practically done. I hope they may produce some of the ready. - I am, ever affectionate son,

R. L. S.
