| Evidence: | ?I regret to see one or two errors in the first Volume, though I have the consolation of believing that none but practised eyes will observe them. I am glad you like The Black Veil. I think the title is a good one, because it is uncommon, and does not impair the interest of the story by partially explaining its main feature.? |

| Letter to John Macrone. [The second note on p.98 in a letter to Catherine Hogarth dated 27/11/1835 explains that ?The plot of ?"he Black Veil? ? the insane mother begging the young doctor to come and help her son one hour after he has been hanged ? is singular enough; is also has a clear connection with the condemned man?s last night in ?A Visit to Newgate.??] By implication, does this mean that John Macrone read The Black Veil? |
