the music was good�察�our boys and precentress ��'tis always a woman 

that leads�� did better than I ever heard them�察�and to my great 

pleasure I understood it all except one verse。  This gave me the 

more time to try and identify what the parts were doing�察�and 

further convict my dull ear。  Beyond the fact that the soprano rose 

to the tonic above�察�on one occasion I could recognise nothing。  

This is sickening�察�but I mean to teach my ear better before I am 

done with it or this vile carcase。



I think it will amuse you ��for a last word�� to hear that our 

precentress ´ she is the washerwoman ´ is our shame。  She is a 

good�察�healthy�察�comely�察�strapping young wench�察�full of energy and 

seriousness�察�a splendid workwoman�察�delighting to train our chorus�察�

delighting in the poetry of the hymns�察�which she reads aloud ��on 

the least provocation�� with a great sentiment of rhythm。  Well�察�

then�察�what is curious�拭 �Ah�察�we did not know� �but it was told us in 

a whisper from the cook´house ´ she is not of good family。  Don't 

let it get out�察�please�察�everybody knows it�察�of course�察�here�察�there 

is no reason why Europe and the States should have the advantage of 

me also。  And the rest of my housefolk are all chief´people�察�I 

assure you。  And my late overseer ��far the best of his race�� is a 

really serious chief with a good 'name。'  Tina is the name�察�it is 

not in the Almanach de Gotha�察�it must have got dropped at press。  

The odd thing is�察�we rather share the prejudice。  I have almost 

always ´ though not quite always ´ found the higher the chief the 

better the man through all the islands�察�or�察�at least�察�that the best 

man came always from a highish rank。  I hope Helen will continue to 

prove a bright exception。



With love to Fairchild and the Huge Schoolboy�察�I am�察�my dear Mrs。 

Fairchild�察�yours very sincerely��



ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON。

��VAILIMA�察�MARCH 1892。��



MY DEAR BURLINGAME�察 � Herewith Chapters IX。 and X。�察�and I am left 

face to face with the horrors and dilemmas of the present regimen�此 �

pray for those that go down to the sea in ships。  I have promised 

Henley shall have a chance to publish the hurricane chapter if he 

like�察�so please let the slips be sent QUAM PRIMUM to C。 Baxter�察�

W。S。�察�11 S。 Charlotte Street�察�Edinburgh。  I got on mighty quick 

with that chapter ´ about five days of the toughest kind of work。  

God forbid I should ever have such another pirn to wind�  �When I 

invent a language�察�there shall be a direct and an indirect pronoun 

differently declined ´ then writing would be some fun。





DIRECT     INDIRECT



  He         Tu

  Him        Tum

  His        Tus





Ex。�此 �HE seized TUM by TUS throat�察�but TU at the same moment caught 

HIM by HIS hair。  A fellow could write hurricanes with an 

inflection like that�  �Yet there would he difficulties too。



Do what you please about THE BEACH�察�and I give you CARTE BLANCHE to 

write in the matter to Baxter ´ or telegraph if the time press ´ to 

delay the English contingent。  Herewith the two last slips of THE 

WRECKER。  I cannot go beyond。  By the way�察�pray compliment the 

printers on the proofs of the Samoa racket�察�but hint to them that 

it is most unbusiness´like and unscholarly to clip the edges of the 

galleys�察�these proofs should really have been sent me on large 

paper�察�and I and my friends here are all put to a great deal of 

trouble and confusion by the mistake。 ´ For�察�as you must conceive�察�

in a matter so contested and complicated�察�the number of corrections 

and the length of explanations is considerable。



Please add to my former orders ´

Letter�此 �TO T。 W。 DOVER







VAILIMA PLANTATION�察�UPOLU�察�SAMOA�察�JUNE 20TH�察�1892。



SIR�察 � In reply to your very interesting letter�察�I cannot fairly 

say that I have ever been poor�察�or known what it was to want a 

meal。  I have been reduced�察�however�察�to a very small sum of money�察�

with no apparent prospect of increasing it�察�and at that time I 

reduced myself to practically one meal a day�察�with the most 

disgusting consequences to my health。  At this time I lodged in the 

house of a working man�察�and associated much with others。  At the 

same time�察�from my youth up�察�I have always been a good deal and 

rather intimately thrown among the working´classes�察�partly as a 

civil engineer in out´of´the´way places�察�partly from a strong and�察�

I hope�察�not ill´favoured sentiment of curiosity。  But the place 

where�察�perhaps�察�I was most struck with the fact upon which you 

comment was the house of a friend�察�who was exceedingly poor�察�in 

fact�察�I may say destitute�察�and who lived in the attic of a very 

tall house entirely inhabited by persons in varying stages of 

poverty。  As he was also in ill´health�察�I made a habit of passing 

my afternoon with him�察�and when there it was my part to answer the 

door。  The steady procession of people begging�察�and the expectant 

and confident manner in which they presented themselves�察�struck me 

more and more daily�察�and I could not but remember with surprise 

that though my father lived but a few streets away in a fine house�察�

beggars scarce came to the door once a fortnight or a month。  From 

that time forward I made it my business to inquire�察�and in the 

stories which I am very fond of hearing from all sorts and 

conditions of men�察�learned that in the time of their distress it 

was always from the poor they sought assistance�察�and almost always 

from the poor they got it。



Trusting I have now satisfactorily answered your question�察�which I 

thank you for asking�察�I remain�察�with sincere compliments��



ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON。

VAILIMA�察�SUMMER 1892。



MY DEAR BURLINGAME�察 � First of all�察�YOU HAVE ALL THE CORRECTIONS ON 

'THE WRECKER。'  I found I had made what I meant and forgotten it�察�

and was so careless as not to tell you。



Second�察�of course�察�and by all means�察�charge corrections on the 

Samoa book to me�察�but there are not near so many as I feared。  The 

Lord hath dealt bountifully with me�察�and I believe all my advisers 

were amazed to see how nearly correct I had got the truck�察�at least 

I was。  With this you will receive the whole revise and a 

typewritten copy of the last chapter。  And the thing now is Speed�察�

to catch a possible revision of the treaty。  I believe Cassells are 

to bring it out�察�but Baxter knows�察�and the thing has to be crammed 

through PRESTISSIMO�察�A LA CHASSEUR。



You mention the belated Barbeys�察�what about the equally belated 

Pineros�拭 �And I hope you will keep your bookshop alive to supplying 

me continuously with the SAGA LIBRARY。  I cannot get enough of 

SAGAS�察�I wish there were nine thousand�察�talk about realism��



All seems to flourish with you�察�I also prosper�察�none the less for 

being quit of that abhorred task�察�Samoa。  I could give a supper 

party here were there any one to sup。  Never was such a 

disagreeable task�察�but the thing had to be told。 。 。 。



There�察�I trust I am done with this cursed chapter of my career�察�bar 

the rotten eggs and broken bottles that may follow�察�of course。  

Pray remember�察�speed is now all that can be asked�察�hoped�察�or 

wished。  I give up all hope of proofs�察�revises�察�proof of the map�察�

or sic like�察�and you on your side will try to get it out as 

reasonably seemly as may be。



Whole Samoa book herewith。  Glory be to God。 ´ Yours very 

sincerely��



ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON。
