Letter from Lord Lister, Maison Rouge, Buxton, to Sir William Huggins Lister is touched by Huggins's kind letter enquiring about his health. He has troublesome rheumatism, which became complicated a year ago, impairing his ability to think. He is now much better, and hopes for further improvement. Letter writing is painful and he apologises for the inadequate reply, passing on his kind regards to Lady [Margaret] Huggins. 30 September 1904
