Market Bosworth, Leicestershire. - Dedicated his poems Forest and Fireside Hours to Milnes; sent three copies last year and has another in white vellum to present; publication expenses not met by subscriptions; has retired to native district on health grounds; hopes to start a school; has testimonials; hopes Milnes will recommend him; the venture will allow him leisure 'for wooing the Muse - making such devotion the pleasure & not the business of Life, as you once commended me for doing'.
