Dear Frank—
Of course I never promised the man (Wood) abo a book for nothing. Why didn’t you write me about it? However, it’s no matter, as long as you haven’t sent the book. Don’t send it; & I wouldn’t answer any more of his letters, either.
The book to Watson is all right. Wood is apparently a bloody fool.
