Part of Papers of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton
Grosvenor Place. - Milnes' remark at Countess Walewski's incorrectly suggested Mahon bears him ill-will; no political or literary grounds for rivalry; proposed Milnes for new House-List at Athenaeum last year; merely turned down membership of Philobiblon Society owing to lack of free time; did not take personal offence when Milnes declined to join the Society of Antiquities; hopes Milnes spoke in haste and will dismiss the notion.
