to Dr. Alexander Japp

[Chalet am Stein, Davos, March 1882.]

MY DEAR DR. JAPP,—You must think me a forgetful rogue, as indeed I am; for I have but now told my publisher to send you a copy of the Familiar Studies.  However, I own I have delayed this letter till I could send you the enclosed.  Remembering the nights at Braemar when we visited the Picture Gallery, I hoped they might amuse you.  You see, we do some publishing hereaway.  I shall hope to see you in town in May.—Always yours faithfully,

Robert Louis Stevenson.
