Part of Papers of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton
Huish, Devon. - Part of beginning of letter missing. Encouraged by Houghton's support of David Gray; has been writing since the age of 10; is now 49 and has published three volumes; some details missing; had hoped to promote a final publication by success in the Calderon competition; what were the shortcomings of his entry? Disappointed that no prizes were awarded; time allowed was too short, especially for a clergyman during Lent.
