Autograph letter signed : London, to Arthur Moore, 1889 Oct. 31.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/506594414

Thanking Moore for his chapter II (of their collaborative novel "Felix Martyr"), and sending chapter III of the same, warning Moore "don't let it startle you into a premature grave." Praising his work, but warning him that they "mustn't get slack." Asking Moore to join the Arts & Letters club, noting that Dowson has just submitted his application and that Arthur Severn is his sponsor. Halting his letter suddenly, stating "I am just getting rather drunk -- or sober -- I'm not sure which." With three postscripts, including one stating "I will treat your complaint as in the strictest confidence & the more easily as I have not yet grasped its precise nature -- but gather that it is venereal? Or is it -- no -- is it -- no -- not -- Crustacean!!!"
