To the Revd. W. Borrow about an upcoming meeting, with some suggestions for his poetic work: "The appointment at Metzler's for 3 to 3.30 on Thursday will suit me very well. Don't postpone our meeting, however, to the following week, as I must be, I am afraid, then out of town. I can't make out what you mean by 'I fear we shall have to do without the words unless you will kindly take the air'. You are sure to succeed, after all that has passed between us. 'Possunt qui posse videntur'. You cannot be too simple for me - as Nora Creina's gown, if you like, & as you say, or 'simplex munditiis' when Pyrrha wove her coronal of hair for her enamoured stripling.
