Buchanan sends his "Outcast" along with the picture Stoddard asks for and some other books of his. Stoddard will notice that in "Outcast" Buchanan has treated him as a real friend and borrowed some phrases and ideas. He is sorry he missed Stoddard while he was in London. The autobiography Stoddard speaks of would be a morsel for the gods. Buchanan would be grateful if Stoddard would send something for the new review he is floating. Robert Louis Stevenson has been sending from Samoa sketches of the South Sea Islands, which beside Stoddard's divine idyls look like dingy photographs. The life Stoddard describes is godlike. :: X-3-m A.L.S. Copy 8pp. 4to.
