Summary
Saying "Now will I sing to my Beloved a song of my Beloved touching his hats - He must have a fair Tuscan black against the face & trimmed with one of these super-[illegible] ribbons. I made myself base for thy sake, & put on the Tam o'f Shanter! - very charming also in colour, & canvas. I have toiled for thee, nothing but thee since I came - save a solitary pair of small shoes, necessary against Senlis. High in the dress-circle am I [illegible] to sit! The jugged hare - turns in the jug at sound of my name! Blessings on the 4th Act & the carpet-beating & the shadows!!"
