Summary
Concerning a lost copy of "Taormina;" saying "I made an exhaustive search yesterday for "Taormina" in the one sitting room which I have been occupying - but without success. Is there no possibility of its having been sent to the country, which was the idea in my mind? Perhaps you w'd let me have a p.c. at Danesfort, Killarney, before long to relieve me on this point. I s'd be so sorry if I have lost or mislaid the copy.".
