Summary
Concerning current editorial bias against publishing articles "on Oriental subjects"; mentioning articles he wants to write on "the Legends of the Saints of Islam, the traditions of the poets of the Desert, the Stories of the Monteyemin or the Love-martyrs of Arabia, and the very peculiar Folklore of the Sahara tribes"; discussing "Stray Leaves," presumably a work Ticknor is helping him publish.
