I would greatly like to do that, but I very seldom write a miscellaneous article now-a-day-sⒶemendation, & the I am already under contract in London & America for all such things that I do write. So you see I can’t.

I wish you would remember me gratefully to friends in the Savage & Whitefriars—especially Henry Lee, if he will only be good & not so lazy & tell me what amount of money it was I once borrowed of him in Paris & told Dolby to repay him & Dolby writes that he forgot it—& I’ve forgotten the amount & Lee is too indolent to drop me a line—& I never will borrow money from such a lazy man again! I think Lee means to “lay low & keep dark” & get rich on the interest. A literary child has no show with one of those old cunning financial frauds.
