Summary
H. M. to H. G. A.
Thank you for the reply you have sent to some of my questions. I do not see how you can help making your letters so long, if I ask so many questions as in my last. Will you now please to dispose of more of them? Others are rising in my mind, while I wait for your solution of these: but I will keep them back till I have heard from you again.
