Portée et contenu

Refers to a previous letter, which was 'the happiest quaintest combination of pathos and fun'. Claims that he liked [Myers'] verses, and 'those in nomine F.M' he liked the best. [Note in Myers' hand explains that this is a reference to the 'first poem about Gertie.'] Refers to his 'Heinesque piece'. Also mentions that he had expressed a wish that Myers 'would traverse the globe in the company of J[ames] S[aumarez]'.

Is trying to work, but is not making much progress. States that he shall be delighted to see Myers on 23 [August], but claims that going to Cornwall 'would be too patent a confession of defeat': his 'moral sense would never get over it'. Adds that 'Butler is canvassing against Childers, as too contagious, at Pontefract.'
