Stoddard is home after three weeks in New York. He would have returned four days earlier, but he met Benoni Irwin, the artist who painted a portrait of Stoddard in 1872. Stoddard sat for another portrait and the old one was given to him. For ten days Stoddard was in the flat of Reginald Birch, who did the illustrations of Little Lord Faunteroy. Stoddard had not seen him for fourteen years. :: X-3-k A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
