Acknowledging receipt of Watson's novel Galloping Dick and responding with pleasure and praise for the book ("He's solid living stuff every inch of him"). and remarking "But think, think a moment of the Young Lady Reviewer!"; expressing his doubts about the publisher (John) Lane, observing "He cocks his ear, there is speculation in his eye, his hospitalities are enterprises. If I borrowed his measures to estimate my money I should look for wax in the bottoms thereof."
