Summary
Looking forward to visiting the theater with Moore, and referencing work on his novel "Madame de Viole." Mentioning that he dined "as usual" in Poland, and describing Adelaide Foltinowicz, noting that she is "quite a charming little chatterbox & we are quite on a footing of vieils amis by this time." With a postscript wondering who might publish the "unhappy" manuscript of their collaborative novel "The Passion of Dr. Ludovicus," suggesting All the Year Round and Family Herald.
