Dear Julia
I answer you note at once
because of what you say about
Harry's wish towards journalism.
Why not help him that way?
You are not poor and can
assist him till he gets on his
journalistic legs - You know it
may be, and is, a distinct pro-
fession from literature - I think it is
a great a noble one. When one has
money, good family such a place as
he ought to have is more likely obtained
than when the applicant is nobody -
Stedman has proposed that his youngest
son should be a journalist, but I
guess the Devil will dispose otherwise

here in Indian ethics - kill all the weak writers.
Stoddard is off at his desk, Lorry sends his regards
please give mine to S Dorr
Yours truly EDBS
