III. I have promised an answer this month to the following pretty
little letter; and will try to answer fully, though I must go over
ground crossed often enough before. But it is often well to repeat
things in other times and words:—
“16th March, 1876.
“Sir,—Being very much interested in the St. George’s Society, we
venture to write and ask you if you will be so kind as to send us the
rules, as, even if we could not join it, we should so like to try and
keep them. We hope you will excuse our troubling you, but we do not
know how else to obtain the rules.
We remain, yours truly.”
