Scope and content

16 New St., George S., Bermondsey. - Thanks Milnes for interest in his compositions, but did not send them in contemplation of a literary career; would still earn a living by hard work even if his 100 Sonnets were as good as those of Keats. Current fame of Keats should be consolidated by a monument; can recommend a young sculptor who is currently executing busts of celebrated men. [End missing: no signature].
