36 Warrender Park Terrace, Edinburgh. - Encloses the photograph of Little Grange promised in his first letter; since he wrote that, he has seen Blackwood and heard from Mowbray Donne, 'both of whom express much regret'. Points out a mistake in the preface of the 1887 edition of FitzGerald relating to E. B. Cowell's Cambridge connections. Clodd tells him there is a rose tree at Kew brought back from the grave of Omar Khayyám; thinks a scion should be planted over FitzGerald's grave in Boulge churchyard.
The photograph originally enclosed with the letter is pasted to a leaf following the letter.
