MY DEAR STONE,

I send you herewith the second part of the book, which I hope may

interest you. If you should prefer to have it read to you by the

Inimitable rather than to read it, I shall be at home this evening (loin

of mutton at half-past five), and happy to do it. The proofs are full

of printers' errors, but with the few corrections I have scrawled upon

it, you will be able to make out what they mean.

I send you, on the opposite side, a list of the subjects already in hand

from this second part. If you should see no other in it that you like (I

think it important that you should keep Milly, as you have begun with

her), I will, in a day or two, describe you an unwritten subject for the

third part of the book.

Ever faithfully.
