Saying that he wrote in error that morning when he said that glass needed to be thick and that older glass was thicker; saying Morris will send him [Ruskin] a memorandum of his experience & a box of specimens and he would like to talk with Ruskin about it; saying "I feel aged this morning because of the nature of great men who are so trying--if one could just do without them!" asking "art thou 64? I don't think it--we will always be between thirty and fifty and choose the year we like it to be--today I am fifty because Morris wouldn't let me have it all my own way in talk--tomorrow I will be thirty if i can."
