St. Mary's | Scilly Isles | 12 April 1857.
My dear Blackwood
By this post I despatch the article 311 which I hope you will like. I have such a glorious vivarium here that if I don't get at some good results it will be my fault. The place is charming, and the animals abundant. If one could be bovoid Gunter 312 or Soyer would do. Toujours de la perdrix 313 was found tiresome; toujours du boeuf is apt to pall.
I fear I must give up all hope of seeing a proof, the postal arrangements not allowing time. But you can get your zoological compositor to look at the names; and for the rest the printing is usually so accurate in Maga that my mind is at ease.
Ever faithfully yours
G. H. Lewes.
