The letter:
Harrogate, June 1st 1894
Dear Sir,
I send you my very best thanks for your kind letter and the sermon you preached at Windsor. I am greatly touched that you remembered my expressing the wish of having your delightful sermon. It made a deep impression on me, and I am so glad now to be able to read it whenever I like; — and I am sure it will be a great help to me in many ways.
I cannot tell you how gladly I would have accepted your kind invitation to go to Ripon, and see the cathedral under your guidance, but the doctor has forbidden me to go on any long excursions, as the baths are very tiring. In case he should allow me a longer drive before I leave, may I venture to ask whether it would suit you then to see us?
Thanking you again for your sermon, which I am so glad and proud to possess, I remain,
yours very sincerely,
Alix of Hesse.
Above: Alix.
Above: William Boyd Carpenter, Bishop of Ripon.
