From a Painting by J.S. Sargent, R.A.
Painted in 1886.
EDMUND GOSSE, C.B.
"Well, my dear Gosse, here's wishing you all health and prosperity. . . . May you live long, since it seems as if you would continue to enjoy life. May you write many more books as good as this one—only there's one thing impossible, you can never write another dedication that can give the same pleasure to the vanished Tusitala."—To Edmund Gosse. Stevenson's last letter—written two days before his death.
