AT LE PERREUX 

London, 22 October 1891 

My dear Laura, 

Herewith my article.*!* Please look it over and say what you think 
of it. If you think that it won’t do, or not without essential alterations, 
please say so. If you think it will do, let it be judged by others, quant au 
Sond. Le fond* once agreed upon, please tell me where that particular 
lady la langue frangaise wants alterations. I could not, in a matter of 
this sort, where I should be held answerable for every word pub- 
lished, allow the Frenchies to make changes without seeing them my- 
self first. If only formal changes are required, will you send me the 

@ as far as the substance is concerned. The substance 

manuscript back with your proposed changes and then we can settle. 
Kind regards to our prisoner.* 
In great haste— Postschluss! 

Love from Louise and yours 
ever 

FE.
