Summary
Referencing Ruskin's feud with Octavia Hill that he read about in "yesterdays 'Fors' and expressing his support for him; saying he has heard of the "Whistler-Howell compact....I wish I could tell you anything about the 'case' but I am not in the way of hearing--I would find out if Oldie [Ruskin] would like."
