Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson and of his wife, Fanny, to Anne Jenkin, with related papers.
Fleeming Jenkin was Professor of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh and Stevenson’s tutor in that capacity. Stevenson showed little aptitude or interest in engineering but the two men became firm friends. After Jenkin’s sudden death in 1885, his widow Anne asked Stevenson to write a memoir of her husband and this correspondence arose from that connection.
