Scope and content
Thanks him for his 'thrilling narrative', the hero of which reminds him of 'one of the most contemptible characters in a degraded period of the British drama.' [Note in Myers' hand explains that this is a reference to a story 'about a ballet girl and a Colonel']. Gives a discourse on himself and his views of life, in relation to his 'theory of practice, framed for the Normal Man', his theory of his own life, and his own practice. 'The difference between each pair is great, so that the divergence of [the third] from [the first] becomes immense'. Fears that Myers deviates from 'the Type' in a direction opposite to [his own]'. Asks him what time he should come to Myers. Announces that he would like to come about 16 [September] for three or four days. States that he shall be very glad 'to meet Miss B.'
