Signed ‘Mrs. E. Lynn Linton’. While he may not recall that she had the honour of being introduced to him by ‘Mr. Gedge’ in the House of Commons she does and she is writing to ask if he has ‘any offices to give to a man you know & one of whom we English may be justly proud - Henry Acworth the Municipal Commissioner of Bombay & the founder of the Matunga Asylum for Lepers - the Translator of the Ballads of the Marathas & one of the cream of the Indian Civil Service’. After pointing out Temple’s acquaintance with the Acworths she explains that Acworth has now settled at Malvern Wells and is ‘far too vigorous & strong a man to be unemployed’. He would be angry if he knew she was writing to Temple but she does not like ‘to see such fine qualities as his lying waste’. She continues in praise of Acworth before exclaiming ‘What stirring times these are! - I have the feeling of holding my breath in anticipation -’. 24 January [no year, but 1895 or after].
