BC RF/103/8/25: Letter from Wendell and Ann Phillips

Letter from Wendell and Ann Phillips, Ligorno and Rome, Italy, reporting their disappointment that Ann's illness prevented them from touring Switzerland and North Italy as planned. Wendell describes their stay in Frankfurt, where he was interested to learn that Mrs Rothschild still lives in her little house in the Jewish quarter. Ann took the waters at Kissingen, but they did her more harm than good 'the Physician thought obstinately otherwise & really grew angry at the nonsense of a patient presuming to reason with her Doctor'. She thanks EJR for her help and care in her illness.

Wendell Phillips, Ann Phillips
