90 Eaton Square - Thanks WW 'for the little gift of the sermon of that one of your divines, whose works I read much in my youth, so that I almost know his Analogy by heart' [WW, 'Butler's Three Sermons on Human Nature', 1848]. Longfellow [Henry Longfellow] was delighted with WW's Evangeline ['Evangeline, a Tale of Acadie', Fraser's Magazine 37, 1848].
