Summary
Thanking him for a letter received at a time "when little good of any kind is coming to me"; calling the works of James Fenimore Cooper "superficially dramatic, and dependent on breathless crisis," and agreeing to have another look at Alice in Wonderland, which he had found "too nonsensical"; and noting the distinction between "epic" and "narrative."
