Summary
Acknowledging letter from January 27; commenting on his photograph "a queer-looking creature that is" and imagining the "physiognomy" of Caligula and Shakespeare; hoping "by now the scrap of manuscript has reached you"; describing inclusion of "R.B. lecuture" and omission of "the Wilkie Collins and the Christina Rossetti" from new collection; commenting on "the large quanitty of available material"; apologizing that the new book does not allow for a limited edition; hoping for alternative.
