Additional Comments:
RE: a recently received letter from M.I. Stevenson (her most recent [and ‘kind’] letter to RLS before this one in Letters 2 is acknowledged briefly, with an expression of intent to write again soon, in Letter 509, dated [13 February 1878]; this could be a second reply to the same communication from MIS).
