Letter thanks an unnamed reader, and ends with "be sure to let Sir Herbert Riseley how glad I shall be to read further of this interesting story; I don't say anything to make him stop his interesting experiment!" Despite the extra "e" , this may refer to the anthropologist Herbert Hope Risley, who died a year after this collection was published. Risely studied the Hindu caste system in India.
