Summary
Concerning "A Child of Jago" by Morrison; saying "I've at last found energy enough to read [A Child of the] Jago I like it fairly well; but I think it's scarce worthy of [Tales of] Mean Streets, &, as I want your first in the N.R. to show you at your best, I've sent it back. We are house-hunting all we know : impelled there to by what must be an abnormal development of the instinct of self-preservation; & we hope to get into clearer air some time this month."
