几句话可以在这里允许我解释一，两点。第一，有关的前言的最后一页传真男子和书籍熟悉的研究。史蒂文森是在达沃斯时，较大部分的工作，通过新闻了。他认为，与其说是被在此情况下（包括他自己和他的妻子生病）有缺点，他恳求我看他的序言中证明。这种疾病已在从他的（第28 - 29）的信记录。当然，这些打印机，已发出指示，复制及序证明给我。因此，现在我可以给这个传真。
    关于在第一封信19，其中也给出传真，史蒂文森有什么意思是不是“最后的这三个一批”，但最后三个前发送给我的 - 尽管这是他犯了一个错误 - 他才派了两个章节，使在“十一章现在” - 发给我的职位。

    A FEW words may here be allowed me to explain one or two points. First, about the facsimile of last page of Preface to FAMILIAR STUDIES OF MEN AND BOOKS. Stevenson was in Davos when the greater portion of that work went through the press. He felt so much the disadvantage of being there in the circumstances (both himself and his wife ill) that he begged me to read the proofs of the Preface for him. This illness has record in the letter from him (pp. 28- 29). The printers, of course, had directions to send the copy and proofs of the Preface to me. Hence I am able now to give this facsimile.
    With regard to the letter at p. 19, of which facsimile is also given, what Stevenson there meant is not the "three last" of that batch, but the three last sent to me before - though that was an error on his part - he only then sent two chapters, making the "eleven chapters now" - sent to me by post.
