Summary:
Concerning a dictionary being prepared by [John Stephen] Farmer; saying "As regards the Dictionary itself, I may as well say that I have nothing to do with its finances & that as yet I've made nothing by it. I have every wish to see it brought to an end, & so, I am sure has Mr. Farmer himself. What it wants, above all, is a publisher."
