Summary
Saying "As to the Sitting, I hope you will excuse me. I am now a private individual, without any claim or wish to appear in a series of public portraits, and with a loathing, public or private, of sitting for a portrait. As to the fourth volume, for which I sincerely thank you, I have packed it off to Dalmeny (where I return tomorrow) with the most eager intention of reading your essay. I hoped by the bye that you were going to propose yourself at Dalmeny?
