PROBYN (Sir Dighton Macnaghten, 1833-1924, V.C., Comptroller to Queen Alexandra)

Autograph Letter Signed to W. H. ALLCHIN (Sir William Henry, 1846-1912, Physician) saying that he has "been travelling about a good deal lately, hence the delay in replying to your most kind letter ... You were indeed most kind in the care you took of the poor man Seward - and I know that the poor fellow during his life time - and his family then, and since, have all felt how deeply indebted they were to you for your great kindness. I have seen this evening the Brother of the poor fellow who died. He asked me to convey to you his own thanks, and the thanks of the family for your goodness to his Brother. He said they all knew it was, humanly speaking, your great skill and kind attention that left the man alive so long ...", 4 sides 8vo., with original autograph envelope, Sandringham, Norfolk headed paper, 30th October
