From Henry Maudsley 6 November 1872
9, Hanover Square, W.
November 6th. 1872
My dear Sir—
I have to thank you most sincerely for kindly sending me your just published work, which I have read with very great pleasure and profit.1 To me the facts, and arguments brought forward open up quite new regions for reflection, and I shall certainly owe a very large intellectual obligation to the book—
I have ventured to send you by post a copy of a Journal containing an address which I had occasion to deliver at a medical meeting. It is extremely sketchy, but as it touches briefly on a question which I had the pleasure of speaking with you upon, I thought you might not be unwilling to glance through it—2
Believe me, | With greatest esteem, | Yours faithfully | H Maudsley
