references to the printed 'Letters' are to the separate
edition in the Eversley Series, 2 vols. ( Macmillans,
1894).

In a letter to Mr. Arthur Malkin, October 15, 1854
( 'Further Records,' ii. 193 ), Mrs. Kemble enunci-
ates her laws of correspondence, to which frequent
reference is made in the present series as the laws
of the Medes and Persians: 'You bid me not answer
your letter, but I have certain organic laws of cor-
respondence from which nothing short of a miracle
causes me to depart; as, for instance, I never write
till I am written to, I always write when I am written
to, and I make a point of always returning the same
amount of paper I receive, as you may convince
yourself by observing that I send you two sheets of
note-paper and Mary Anne only half one, though I
have nothing more to say to you, and I have to her.'

WILLIAM ALDIS WRIGHT.
