1 folded sheet.

19 Carleton Road, Tufnell Park, N. - Has made some extracts from FitzGerald's letters, especially relating to the separate publication of the Rubáiyát 'in reference to which Mr Aldis Wright broke his instructions two years after he had written to you declaring he could "not violate" Mr FitzGerald's "distinct orders" Either his memory is very bad, or his conscience is very elastic' [This section is not printed in Charlotte Quaritch Wrentmore's 1926 edition of FitzGerald letters to her father and other FitzGeraldiana].

Now returns the letters; thanks Quaritch for entrusting to them. Will fetch the book with FitzGerald's bookplate which he lent
