Scope and content
5 Durham Place [on headed notepaper for 14 Brompton Crescent, London, S.W., which is crossed through]. - Could not find the 'first part of FitzGerald's letter about Tennyson'; his father {John Allen, Archdeacon of Salop] had a 'most ruthless habit of mutilating either books or letters which he thought merited such treatment'; thinks 'his religion was (in some aspects) of a very austere school.
Gives some extracts from his father's diary from 1830, relating to FitzGerald [these break off mid-word, and the letter is obviously incomplete].
