R./1.75/No. 11 · Part · [1862?]
Part of Manuscripts in Wren Class R

From [Cambridge?] Independent Press, 4 Jan. 1862. Four lines of English verse, perhaps in Richard Shilleto's hand, written at the end: 'A Master - a Martyr - the Headship's enough - / There's a Stall too - the matter may be compromised /The "Master" shall have of the "Cat" quantum suff / But surely the "Martyr" might be "canonized"'.

Dear Sir,

My cousin, Mr J. A. Busfeild who now tenants Upwood, has discovered a short autograph letter of Lord Byron, and has sent me a Copy which I forward to you. From its brevity I fear it will hardly answer your expectation[,] but at least you may like to know what was its natur[e] and purport

Believe me
Yours very faithfu[lly]
W Busfeild

[Docketed, by Clark:] March 25. W. Busfeild | Byron’s letter.
