(Undated.)

10 Serjeant's Inn. - Reprinting of Milnes' verses.

Serjeants' Inn. - Congratulates Milnes on the birth of his son. Sends 'the trial of Madeleine Smith as promised'.

Re Monckton Milnes's memoir of Lady Ashburton.

Serjeant's Inn. - Seeks forgiveness such as that felt by Guizot towards book thieves, because they wished to read the book: has brought Houghton's book to wider notice by lending it out; no wealthy woman ever buys a book. Does not care for Suleiman Pasha but likes Lady Ashburton; Lord Ashburton was a lesser man than Houghton suggests, 'no amount of the most careful and ingenious training could make a horse out of what nature had meant for a poney'. Did not read notice of Landor, whom he despised; regrets he is unable to dine on the 'Eve of St Epsom'.
