Scope and content

Thinks the stanzas 'very impressive and decidedly such as should be published.' Remarks, however, that he finds them 'a little too deliberate', and that in the last stanza 'the ingenuity seems...somewhat to refrigerate the pathos. Also refers to 'the accent of Promethean'. Reports that Myers' letter has come; states that he 'joy[s] in [Myers'] joy and in the wonderful fashioning of destiny to this harmonious result.' Expresses a desire to see Myers' 'betrothed'. Announces that he shall be in London on 13 January, 'and shall talk things over...with E[dmund] G[urney]' Asks when he shall be back. States that they shall pass through on 20 and 24 January.
