Letter from Robert Ripley to Richard Monckton Milnes
HOUG/D/C/3/8/16 · Unidad documental simple · 21 Dec. 1859
Parte de Papers of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton

Escrick. - Thanks for manuscript and gift; enjoyment of Milnes' poems; will accept offer of another book of poetry or literary biography; fond of Coleridge and Keats; Lady Wenlock unlikely to lend books as she has never spoken to Ripley. Will try to correct grammar and shorten poems, as Milnes suggests. Earning little as gardening is too strenuous for his chronic 'ossification of the heart'; pain of attacks and difficulty in breathing; would like a clerkship. Concludes with 'the workman's wish of the season, a Merry Christmas to you'.
