Summary
Mentioning Moore's outing with Walter McLachlan Money and Dowson's solitary excursion to the theater. Discussing their collaborative novel "The Passion of Dr. Ludovicus," noting that it is "an extremely good work" and that Dowson "can't believe that publishers will persist in their evil ways" (by continuing to reject it). Referencing his continued work on the novel "Madame de Viole," and hoping to see Moore soon.
