Summary
Writing that he has read a (unspecified) work by Watson and praising him as writer ("You're a damned copious ingenius eventful beggar & you write like a Duke"), and adding "You soar -- you do it like a bird, & as for me I go from Bog to Briar thicket damning and damning."; complaining of the onerous responsibilities of overseeing the building of his house and the toll it takes on his literary imagination.
