17 Great Queen Street, Westminster. - Asks if Milnes has seen Woolner's fine bust of Tennyson, which was exhibited at Dickenson's in Bond Street and is now in Manchester; proposed presentation of bust to Trinity Library; Woolner will not part with original but can supply a copy for £100. Tom Taylor suggests subscribing for an extra copy for Tennyson himself. Invites Milnes to join Committee and encourages others to do so. Does not know Tennyson personally; subscription list 'ought to be wider than his intimate personal friends and narrower than his idolators'.
