Transcript

Royal Hotel, Blackfriars.
9 April 1873.

My dear Sir,

You will, I trust, by this have learnt out of a letter of our friend Furnivall, that I intend to pay you a visit on Good Friday {1}. As my present stay in England is so very limited and as I must be back to my academical duties at the 17th., it is impossible for me to defer my trip to Cambridge untill† next week. My leisure is indeed so fully occupied that I must return to London on Good Friday night. But my chief object is to see you and I hope you will manage to bestow on me as much as you can of your time for the course of Friday. Mr. Furnivall told me of a train leaving Kings Cross at nine o’clock in the morning, and I shall take that. Of course, on my arrival I shall immediately proceed to Trinity College, so you must not take the trouble of coming to the Railway Station. Yours, very faithfully

N. Delius.

† Sic.

Trinity College - unable to accept an introduction to [William?] Wordsworth, use of βεβαιοσ

Mainly re Layton's time at Trinity.

On headed notepaper for Elderslie, Renfrew. - Congratulations on the birth of Milnes' son.

1 letter, 1 Jul. [1851], Henrietta Crewe to Richard Monckton Milnes; 2 letters, 30 Jun. [1851] and 12 Nov [1851] from Milnes to Henrietta Crewe.

Winchester. - Has been to Winton House; the 'sick boy's name is Stratford, a Kent family. He is one of thirteen. None of his friends have been to see him yet'. Mr [Charles Alexander] Johns has taught four of the boy's older brothers. The boy is likely to be removed in a week for change. Not yet know when Greville returns.

Robert's friend Longman is the son of William Longman, of 36 Hyde Park Square and Ashlyns, Great Berkhampstead; two of his brothers have also been with Mr Johns and 'distinguished themselves at Harrow and Oxford' [Robert's son is likely to be Hubert Harry Longman, later made 1st Baronet, of Lavershot Hall]. Robert knows the Warburtons, but they are not in the same class, and do not live at Mr John's house but have been granted a special exception to go up daily to their lessons (their cousins are residents at WIlton House).

Is sorry to hear of 'Miss Florence's accident', and hopes she recovers quickly. The hotel is comfortable.

London. Invites Wordsworth to visit with his acquaintance Richard Monckton Milnes (the bearer of this letter).

Tavistock House. - Houghton's reference to the Guild [of Literature and Art. in a speech to the Royal Literary Fund]; acknowledges shortcomings, but Act of Incorporation prevents appropriation of funds for first seven years; responsible management in the interim.

Embossed notepaper for St. Dunstans, Regents Park. - Coxe showed him letters of Francisque Michel referring to an MS of St. Brandan's [sic] voyage]; perhaps it will be suitable for the Philobiblon as the Roxburghe Club does not propose to print it. Encloses correspondence [no longer present]. Asks Houghton what he thinks of the Mystère de Saint Louis [published for the Roxburghe Club in 1871]; curious Anglo-French phrases.

General Post Office. - Encloses paper; hopes Houghton will wish to join the Society.

Enclosed: Prospectus of Wyclif Society, containing lists of officers and members; also details of ‘Other Societies (Which all want Fresh Members)’.

72 Great Russell St. - Invites Milnes to act as steward at Literary Fund anniversary on 12 May.

The Cottage, Harley St., Bow Road, London. - Campbell’s aunt Mary was governess to the Misses Milnes; poor health forced him to leave Scotland for Malta, afterwards he travelled in the Near East and Europe; fears a relapse if he resumes further occupation; Government must show appreciation of his late uncle [Thomas Campbell]’s poetic contribution by supporting a relative; seeks Richard Monckton Milnes’ help in obtaining Landing Waitership in the Port of London.

Reporting death of Sir James Boswell, 2nd Baronet, grandson of James Boswell. Cutting from unidentified paper.
