Notes
Part of a large collection, assembled by Richard Woodhouse, of letters and manuscripts relating to the English poet John Keats. Items in the collection have been described in individual catalog records; see collection-level record for MA 215 for more information.
Previous cataloging suggests the author may be Marianne Reynolds (b. 1797), the sister of John Hamilton Reynolds. Lowell suggests that she is possibly the future mother-in-law of Marianne Reynolds, who married H. G. Green (cf. Rollins, p. 76, n. 1). Stillinger suggests that she is Mrs. Thomas Green (cf. Stillinger, p. 65).
Written from Duncan Terrace, Islington. Addressed on verso to "Mr. R. Woodhouse."

Sabin in 1906.
Summary
Thanking him for the loan of Endymion, and discussing it. Noting: "A Stranger perhaps might fancy him to wild in some of his passages but Mrs. G knowing the Author at a time when the Fire of his imagination appeared agitated with a Thirst for fame -- can easily excuse him for the -- sudden bursts of enthusiasm which pervades his affectionate Constitution."
