The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson by Robert Louis Stevenson: sickening - and that is only a specimen. It is enough to make any
one a misanthrope, but the right thing is to hate the donkey that
was duped - which I devoutly do.
I have this winter finished TREASURE ISLAND, written the preface to
the STUDIES, a small book about the INLAND VOYAGE size, THE
SILVERADO SQUATTERS, and over and above that upwards of ninety (90)
CORNHILL pages of magazine work. No man can say I have been idle.
- Your affectionate son,
R. L. STEVENSON.
Letter: TO EDMUND GOSSE
[EDINBURGH] SUNDAY [JUNE 1882].
