The ceiling of the basement of the house has in my opinion made it perfectly habitable & I am very sorry indeed that the Committee has acted on Dr. Taylor's advice without getting another medical opinion. Of course I say this without knowing what has really been decided but I will await your letter on the subject & then write again. > <br> >[Closing word], Lloyd > <br> # Next Letter [[Related Letters - 1898.12.09 Baring-Gould to MEB]]
