O Moltke of Edinburgh! This last move has surprised even our expectations! We think however that since there is no possible competitor to fall back upon, we had better not scare the Melbourne people by asking more than they gave before after a hard fight. £200 will be very acceptable from them and we might miss all by asking for more. 360
Yours truly
G. H. Lewes.
