3 St. Edmund’s Terrace, Regent’s Park, N.W. Two letters written after W. M. Rossetti read an article about Christina Rossetti in the 9 Jan. issue of The World in which she is said to have been stiff and ungenial and that “Arthur J.” and the author encountered her one night and that she was icy to them. In the first letter Rossetti speculates that the author is the watercolour painter Smallfield. Munby has written “No!” above the “Arthur J., who must be you” in the letter. In the second letter he has received Munby's reply and agrees that the J. is likely for the surname. He is pleased with the forthcoming volume of Christina's poems; is grateful to have news of his old friend Lushington.
