After a brief comment on Tierney s ill health, he recalls how He, Alfred Torrens, and I sat next to each other at Mills School. Torrens died a few weeks ago, and now I am the only one left. He ends by sending his and his wife s condolences, and in a postscript signed R asks to be informed should you come to London .

(See the Oxford DNB: The outbreak in 1885 of the Third Anglo-Burmese War brought Temple once more on active service, and led in 1887 to his being placed in charge of King Thibaw's capital on Thibaw's deposition. ) Roberts will be pleased to endorse the General s favorable opinion .
