Oliver Wendell Holmes , Boston, to "My dear Miss Low"1893 Apr 12ALS, 1 p.
[Remembers his visit to the Duke of Westminster's stables but does not recall his friend who found him "noice but not orsey." He also writes, "If it had been later in my English visit, after I had seen the Duke's Ormonde win the Derby, and about Plenipotentiary, whom I saw win the Derby in 1834, fifty-two years before Ormonde, I might have talked orse with the chief of the stables to his satisfaction and my credit."]
