The Mill House, Westcott, Dorking. - Robert and Bessie send thanks for the present of fifty pounds, which will 'more than cover the income tax'. Glad there has been good weather at Wallington; it has 'just broken' here, and the 'autumn is well upon' them. Discussion of a reading by Sir George in the text of Lucan; hopes he will convince Lord Ridley [see TRER/12/45]. Must read Carlyle's letters; Aunt Annie has an early letter, which he and Bessie thought 'admirable'.
Has just returned from town, where he has been discussing his book [Polyphemus and Other Poems] which will probably come out early in November. Bessie sends love.
