1 item

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth (printed notepaper); 35 Brunswick [?] G[ar]d[e]ns added in pencil, - Thanks Eddie for the letter about his book ["Windfalls"] with a quote from Theocritus. Hopes he can get it reprinted one day, but [Stanley] Unwin says he cannot provide the paper at the moment. Discusses a line in Milton ["Paradise Lost"]. Corrected the proofs of his [translation of Virgil's] "Eclogues and Georgics" some time ago, so hopes they will appear before Christmas; will send a copy to Eddie, also 'a kind of Christmas-card pamphlet of eight pages of short poems ["From the Shiffolds"]'. Very glad Eddie is going to live at Boar's Hill, though sorry he will not be at Cambridge; perhaps Eddie can visit the Shiffolds one day. Agrees in a postscript that he should have 'added crystals to [his] straight lines in Nature'; is going home to the Shiffolds tomorrow.
