Summary
Stating that he has sent the manuscript of their collaborative work "The Passion of Dr. Ludovicus" to the publisher F.V. White. Mentioning the current issue of The Critic. Discussing their rejection from Routledge, noting that someone (perhaps the editor Moon) read at least the first volume, as there are penciled annotations in the margin. Hoping to see Moore soon.
