Printed notepaper, City Library, Bristol. - Urges adoption of second proposal in Wordsworth Memorial Committee's Resolution; it would be a 'peculiar and condign tribute in the region which he has almost sanctified' to commemorate Wordsworth in a Lakeland mountain sculpture of the type suggested for Alexander by the ancient Greek sculptor-poet Dinocrates. Sir Francis Chantrey 'had a strong desire to become proprietor of a mountain' for this purpose'.
