Del Papers of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton
Trusts Houghton's diplomatic skill to maintain gravity of a competition in which few Englishmen are interested [the Calderon poetry competition]; appends a sonnet in honour of Sir G[eorge Pomeroy] Colley, a hero who will only be remembered for three disastrous mistakes. Printed verse, 'In Memoriam G. P. C., Feb. 27 1881'.
