Summary
Concerning a quarrel with the newspaper the Free Lance: "The F.L. is too insignificant for us to take any notice of. My reply to them, and Mr Sullivan's [probably Arthur Sullivan] reply, will be sufficient. Mr Morton is all in the wrong: but he has acted alone, & so let him get right alone"; mentioning a skit by a mutual acquaintance (writing under the name of "Snuff" or "Sniff") that appeared in Le Figaro and commenting "Pity he's in such a skunk of a paper as Figaro."
