Does not know anything about Aldis Wright's being the owner of FitzGerald's copyright, other than 'the letter addressed to him, and leaving him the box of MSS. as asserted in the preface by A. W.' Asks if Quaritch has had much demand for the book. FitzGerald left him a self-portrait by Raphael Mengs, 'a d-d ugly fellow - but as good as Rembrandt, only in a different way of course'.
Remembers coming now and again to 'worry' Quaritch forty-four years ago when a Collector at Simpkins.
