Can you spare me a photograph to stick up on the mantelpiece to remind me of you always?
You needn't send a cabinet one, because they cost too much.
I'd sooner have a _carte-de-visite_ and the rest in stamps, if you don't mind.

I'm doing my best to give Marky a leg-up.

I could get him into a row and a half if I liked, but for your sake I'm keeping it all dark.

I hope you'll come down soon.

It will be an awful game if you do, and I'll promise to keep the fellows from grinning.
