TO ROBERT ROSS
MS. Clark
[28 February, 1895] Hotel Avondale, Piccadilly
Dearest Bobbie, Since I saw you something has happened. Bosie’s father has left a note at my club with hideous words on it. I don’t see anything now but a criminal prosecution. My whole life seems ruined by this man. The tower of ivory is assailed by the foul thing. On the sand is my life split. I don’t know what to do. If you could come here at 11:30 please do so tonight. I mar your life by trespassing ever on your love and kindness. I have asked Bosie to come tomorrow.
Ever yours. OSCAR
