* Ruskin (John, 1819-1900). Autograph letter signed “J. Ruskin”, m.p., [probably in Larkhill], c. 1860, to Mrs. Simon [Jane, 1816-1901, wife of the public health reformer Dr. John Simon, 1816-1904], in full, “Yes, I am much better getting all right again - thank you. Crawley [Frederick, who became Ruskin’s valet in 1854] will bring the Golden Water [watercolour by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, commissioned by Ruskin in 1854, completed in 1858, and which was initially owned by Ruskin, being hung above his work table at Denmark Hill] and any other handy thing - I did not want them, but I shall soon - so as they are done up they may as well come. I am surprised - as well as Dr. Montgomery - to whom please my best regards - at Boo’s [pet name of Jane Faulkner, born 1852 and adopted by the Simons in 1853] knowing the Turners. Please ask her with a kiss - wherein a Turner visibly differs from any other picture?”, one page, old paperclip mark at head and foot touching last two lines of text, integral blank leaf removed and no longer present, 8vo. John Ruskin first met and became close friends with the Simons in 1856. Dr. John Simon was one of his favourite physicians who later treated him after his first nervous breakdown. The “Golden Water” watercolour by Rossetti referred to was leant to Miss Bell, principal of Winnington Hall School, 1863-5, and caused some friction between Ruskin and Rossetti who thought it had been sold. Ruskin later gave it to Mrs. Constance Churchill and it now hangs in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. Ruskin’s affection for the young “Boo” was not unique and it is with the young Jane Faulkner that the poet Algenon Charles Swinburne is said to have had the only genuine romance of his life. He impossibly proposed to her in 1862 and following his mocking rejection at the hands of the Simon household, fled to Northumberland. Here he wrote some of his noblest poetry, but never again attained a normal emotional life, the precocious and attractive Jane ending her own days as a degenerate wreck. (1)
