'. . . I am not quite sure of the feasibility of reading to you the lecture you refer to: fear it may be broken up, & not quite reproducible in that form it had. . . . I will see if it be presentable: Else, may try to read my lecture on the 'Crises of Men.'
'. . . I think it will be prudent, & more considerate of Mrs. Wheeler's morning, to stick close to the hotel & railway. But you will let me see you that evening.'
