Summary
Complimenting Louÿs book "The Songs of Bilitis" and calling him "Theocritis living"; asking "why have you given your songs to Bilitis? Personally I do not credit women with any of the perfections"; noting that he has only just gotten to read it because he was recently in Penzance and the book was too large to be forwarded to him there.
