Part of Papers of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton

Embossed notepaper, Weston Park, Shifnal. - Delighted by speeches for the centenary of Sir Walter Scott; Houghton is mistaken in stating that there is now no Byron - writer recently heard the 'Bill' read in the old fourth form room at Harrow and a 'little blackheaded boy' responded to the title 'just as I was gazing at BYRON, which the poet had cut on the wall'; an actual descendant is Lord Wentworth, the eldest surviving son of Byron's only child.
