EDWIN ARNOLD
The journalist apologizes for not being able to attend a gathering due to a case of influenza
Autograph letter signed: "Edwin Arnold", 1 page, 4¼x7. 225, Cromwell Mansions, Kensington, S.W., 1893 March 24. To Mrs. Hart. In full: "Do not think me insensible to your kindness in sending me the pleasant invitation for Wednesday. But I was the unhappy victim of influenza and could not get out of doors". Edwin Arnold (1832-1904) was a British educator, journalist and author best known for transmitting the literature and ideas of India to the West. He wrote a life of Gautama Buddha (The Light of Asia, 1879) and translated the Bhagavid Gita into English. Arnold, who also wrote the popular love poem "Destiny", was also the editor of London's "Daily Telegraph", which funded Stanley's search for David Livingstone in Africa and Sir Harry Johnson's exploration of Kilimanjaro in 1884. Notes and soiled at upper left corner. Lightly creased with folds, not at signature. Mounting residue on verso. Otherwise, fine condition.
