H’ry’s final letter, written from London and delivered to Wm at Lamb House, hopes the garden will offer something of a cure:
“Today has all the promise of beauty…& I devoutly hope you wil have profited by [it] in the garden, to the blessed confirmation of your so improved nights.”
Wm died three weeks later, at his home in Chocorua, NH, his brother by his side.
