Written from "43 Warrington Crescent, / Maida Vale, W." on stationery engraved with the address.
None of the letters in this small collection of letters from Payn to Henley indicate the year of writing. Collection notes and penciled notations on some of the letters suggest the letters were written in 1878 and 1879.
This letter is one of seventeen letters from James Payn to W. E. Henley (MA 1617.349 - MA 1617.365).
The handwriting in this letter is very difficult to decipher and it is not at all clear what Payn is saying. It appears it may be referring to a piece for the London Magazine .
