Asks for photograph of pointed ear of ERL’s friend.
Has this day sent off corrections for new issue [of Descent]. Asks whether title-page may read "Sixth Thousand".
Completes payment for 2d issue [of Descent]; has sold 1300 of the 2000 copies printed. Will probably print 2000 more for 3d issue.
More remarks relating to French/German relations [see JH's 1871-2-9]. Thanks EC for more poetry and an account of an earthquake she experienced. JH is in poor health.
