Letter from Emily Olive Daniel to Horatio Percy Symonds

Date

Dec. 9, 1892

Description

In 1892, Emily Daniel sent a copy of the Garland with J.A. Symonds’s specially printed title-page to the poet’s cousin, Horatio Percy Symonds (1850-1923), a respected medical doctor. In this letter, she thanks Symonds for “all he has done for Rachel,” suggesting he treated the child for an illness. The occasion of the gift was Symonds’s marriage to Marion Robinson Leckie.
