Summary
Discussing copying and revising their collaborative work "The Passion of Dr. Ludovicus," and referencing Nicholas Nickleby. Discussing their Easter plans, mentioning that Dowson has refused invitations to dine at Reigate [with his cousins the Secretans] and does not wish to "face the enthusiastic Sayle," asking if they might tramp about Surrey instead. With a postscript hoping for the success of "The Passion of Dr. Ludovicus."
