You have never let me know about that $10, so I suppose you received it from M. I am reminded of the matter now by a note from my friend Nugent Robinson of Once a Week. He asks me to get him some verse. Have you a $10 bit on hand, or will you jot down anything in mind for that amount?
Kindly let me know at once & oblige, yrs very truly,
Melville PhilipsI'll engage to send you the card instantly the poem arrives. Have you utterly abandoned
all idea of paying me that visit? You know I can make the journey very easy for
you, &, I venture to say, the visit tranquilly pleasant. There are vistas out

Come
