Summary
Explaining delay from "having been laid up 'yet again!'" and discussing Abraham Lincoln manuscript, saying "it's not an easily profitable book"; saying that height of godson Nicols is 6'4". Asking: "Do you think there any risk of a Civil War in the U.K., now that there is so much slavery due to Over-Employment + Surfeitage of the Civil Service?"; hoping that his move has gone well; saying that your 'Ghost Stories' are 18 inches away" and "There's a beast in my 'mind'--but it's beginning to melt away. 'Sleeping tablets,' I expect."
