PREFISS.
There is two kinds of prefisses one if it is byyourself and the other if you get a swell riterto do it for you. I'm going to do it by myself becauseI have done the talk undeneath the pickturesso nice that I think people would begreviously diseppointed if Mr. Andrew Lang orsomeboddy was to do it instead like he did for SybilCorbetts book (thats the other little girlwhat started "Animal Land"). He did it awfullnice of course and then you can get such nicethings into it about your grate tallent andyour emaggynation if he does it. He is so lernedand drags in illusions to other grate authers butwhen you can auth as nice as what I can thereisnt realy no need. If you do it yourself youmust appolergise for it all (they allways do) andsay it shall not accurr again. I am quite atthe openning of my corea (I saw that in the papers)so I want ellowances made for my stile and imperfectpenship—I want it all put down to yewth.
I have done allmost all the most knowtableAnimals—you cant do evryboddy when youve gotmusick and depportment to do too.
(I never thaught I would get to riting a Preffissbut it is abserdly easey.)
P.S. I lernt to draw off the Veenus of Mealo and thatdoesnt help you very much with these picktures. Theyare mostly a diffrent stile of art alltogether.
