Complaint from a visitor, not good person (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ague

'complaint' is the definition.
(ague is a kind of disease)

'a visitor not good person' is the wordplay.
'visitor' becomes 'guest' (guest is a kind of visitor).
'not' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'good person' becomes 'st' (saint).
'guest' with 'st' taken away is 'gue'.
'a'+'gue'='AGUE'

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ague that I've seen before include "Burning fever" , "Feverish illness" , "Old word for fever" , "attack" , "Fever (archaic)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
