Summary
Recounting a visit from his "godless cousin" who "arrived in London from Ceylon on Thursday evening without a shilling and almost without a shirt"; thanking him for returning a book by Walter Pater that he had lent him because "the return of a book is a thing phenomenal"; postulating that Louÿs returned the book because he did not like it.
