MY DEAR STONE,

That's right! You will find the words come back very quickly. Why, _of

course_ your people are to come, and if Stanfield don't astonish 'em,

I'm a Dutchman. O Heaven, if you could hear the ideas he proposes to me,

making even _my_ hair stand on end!

Will you get Marcus or some similar bright creature to copy out old

Nightingale's part for you, and then return the book? This is the

prompt-book, the only one I have; and Katey and Georgina (being also in

wild excitement) want to write their parts out with all despatch.

Ever affectionately.
