Summary
If she knows of someone who is a Baconian, but has not read Dodd's book, [The personal poems of Francis Bacon], she should entreat said person to finance the larger edition of this work. Compares the expression on the Folger Library's Puck statue to Bacon's thought of playing mischief with the public. Included is a long postcript written by Howard discussing Frank H. Simond's Can Europe keep the peace? and a table of contents of the abridged Dodd Edition of the Shakespeare's Sonnets. Also, an excerpt from C.W. Hopper's 160 Sonnets to Shake-Speare containing a sonnet beginning "Three centuries have passed and still your claim."
