The papers say you are engaged upon a complete Edition of your Poems. I have been an admirer thereof for some six years, and believe myself to have learned from them.

I have the Rossetti Edition, but should like to have the complete one. I enclose a money order for £4.18.0 (somewhere about $20), for an early copy.
I would send you a volume of poems of my own, but they are very juvenile; and I
would rather not be known of by them.
Would your health permit you to come to England? My wife & I would both be delighted
if you could come and stay with us so long as might suit you. I expect in the spring we
shall be resident a few miles out of
London.
