Summary
Clarifying a phrase in Wordsworth's "The Beggars;" saying "...I find the phrase 'weed of glorious feature' in 'The Beggars' is from Spenser's Muiopotmos 81.27 / 'to feed on flowers & weeds of glorious feature' / This is important as it alters the meaning of feature. I forgot to send you this, perhaps you have already noted it. I am very sorry to hear you have been seedy & wish you a complete recovery and a happy Xmas. I should like to know when your edition is out."
