Rochester. - Bennett has perhaps mentioned that Whiston is a candidate for Breward Grammar School; asks if Milnes can mention him to Mr Monckton of Somerford, one of the electors; obtained Milnes' Poetry for the People from Moxon; Milnes' reluctance to visit. Postscript: rumoured murder of Milnes' colleague; 'unfortunate cannon-ball [jest?].

Cuckfield. - Moxons are not replying owing to present state of their affairs; can Houghton say whether Dennis is free to publish selected sonnets by Keats; to omit them would condemn the book as his are some of the century's best; was introduced to Houghton at Willis's Rooms [Almack's] some years ago by his friend Mr Trollope. Postscript: does not include living poets; can be reached at the Garrick Club.

Cuckfield. - Would certainly have requested some of Houghton's sonnets if including living poets; thanks for advice on Keats; still awaiting permission from Moxon's to reproduce poems of Hood and others.
