Summary
Mentioning a "quite refreshing article" by Robert Buchanan; expressing pleasure that he is not an editor, as "I have not the least little theory as to what an editor should do or should not do"; musing on the fun Buchanan must have had writing the article and further praising it; declining a suggestion to write an article in reply to Buchanan's, as "I must write about myself, and I bear no desire at all to write about Mr. Buchanan".
