MY DEAR LORD MORPETH,

I have delayed writing to you until now, hoping I might have been able

to tell you of our dramatic plans, and of the day on which we purpose

playing. But as these matters are still in abeyance, I will give you

that precious information when I come into the receipt of it myself. And

let me heartily assure you, that I had at least as much pleasure in

seeing you the other day as you can possibly have had in seeing me; and

that I shall consider all opportunities of becoming better known to you

among the most fortunate and desirable occasions of my life. And that I

am with your conviction about the probability of our liking each other,

and, as Lord Lyndhurst might say, with "something more."

Ever faithfully yours.
