On printed notepaper for 25 College Hill, London, E.C. - Encloses letter Houghton sent 44 years ago; started bookshop on proceeds from sonnets published in 1850 but now struggling; requests a few pounds; was originally a joiner; familiar with beautiful work at Crewe Hall.
Enclosed, letter from Milnes to Lott, 9 May [1839], House of Commons. - Lott's verses graceful; regrets he has no influence to secure him a position and doubts whether a literary one would prove beneficial - 'I would rather see poetry acting as a comfort & sustainer to you in your path of life than the inciter to worldly ambition'; poetical sympathy is rare in society - 'we none of us can quite reconcile the daily duties of existence with our wishes & ideas'.
