Scope and content
Informs Crook that he has hardly planned the music, but the fugal opening of Act 3 has a distinct 'sound' already, rather like the opening chorus of a Bach cantata. He states his relief that the quotation from Horace has been explained. He makes reference to RLS's essays entitled 'Virginitus Puerisque' and his learned friend's translation as 'for maidens and youths.' He attaches an amendment to 'sequence 27' as well as Stevenson's original extract (2 pages).
