oppressed humanity, but its effect upon my audience was, to say the
least, singular. Its results, as far as I am personally concerned
were also somewhat unpleasant. Looking at myself in my pocketglass

would have the goodness to accompany the obliging gentleman, who is
the bearer of this, to my temporary lodgings, I will further explain
the situation to you. By the way, it is absolutely necessary that
you should come.
Yours in haste,
