Portée et contenu
Extended ironical treatment of the descendants of Adam, with Biblical references, suggesting that 'Methusaleh, rather than Adam, is the source of original sin' and that he 'corrupt[ed] his great grandson amid the stacks of golden wood'. Did not know about Trevelyan's ark, and asks where he can read the legend: has just come across it in "The King of Uruk", a story in Frederick [sic] Manning's "Scenes and Portraits" [likely to be a reference to the Gilgamesh legend]. The card will go in an envelope 'for several reasons'.
