ALS signed “Th: Hardy,” one page, 4.5 x 7, Max Gate, Dorchester letterhead, May 2, 1924. Letter to Mr. Richardson, in full: "I am sorry to have to say in reply to your kind letter that I do not feel capable of presenting the prize to the Hon. J. S. Udal, glad as I should have been to do so in other circumstances, as he is a friend of mine. I have an inflammation of one eye, & rheumatism in the neck & head (both probably from the same cause) & am unequal to a function of any sort—as indeed I am at most times. I do not doubt that you will find a better man, & am much pleased that Mr. Udal has been successful. Many thanks for kind inquiries." In fine condition, with a block of toning from prior display.
