9Please return me that little Allegory. I am trying to get it published
10in the Fortnightly & in America, but don’t hope to succeed. I wonder
11if when the writer of the enclosed note speaks of my brother her he
12means you or Cron!

14I am quite haunted by our chess problem. I think one must cripple that
15Castle but how, without losing a move!

17Be sure dear to tell me if you have any news of Ol or of Plum.
