“Queen’s Square Place,Westminster.

“Dear Sir,—

The small accompanying cargo will speak for itself and me. From it you will judge whether towards you there is, on my part, any lack of sympathy. All I have read of you (it is with my ears that I have read it, my eyes not being strong enough) is that which is in your letter.

But never think of paying either carriage or postage for anything you send to me.”

On his return to his abode, Mr Price writes—
