Scope and content
Hopes he will come [to Margate], where Henry has been for a fortnight. Reports that 'Xmas Rose has come.' Refers to Myers' disappointment with the world. Announces that he is writing 'T_p_l D_p [ts] in sadness of heart'. Quotes some German verse. Reports that the 'Authoresses are gone abroad.' Asks if Myers would like to read Mrs Cornish's novel Alcestis, which he thinks 'a decided success.' Asks him to recommend some good novel 'that can be bought at a Carthaginian circulating Library.'
