Part of Papers of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton
17/18 U[pper] B[rook] S[treet]. - Has removed Blake's broadside ballad [i.e. relief etching of Hayley's Little Tom the Sailor?] from the lot sold to the Museum, as [Severn?] indicated that Milnes would like it; has great pleasure in presenting it; regrets absence from Milnes' breakfast as he had to visit Oxford to vote for Gladstone. Postscript: would like to borrow Milnes' American De Quincey; hopes MIlnes liked Ionica.
