Letter from A. Roland Holst
Written from the St. Elizabeth asylum on Prinsengracht, Amsterdam, where the author was admitted. He writes this letter to a visiting physician (Dr. Schröter) with whom he got on well, asking whether he may privately visit the physician as soon as he is released from the asylum. 'I hardly feel like a patient here and more like a hotel guest who has been duped by bad weather.'
The letter is undated, only a general dating ('Sunday afternoon'), as the writer customarily dated his correspondence.
A unique source from the hand of A. Roland Holst!
