Summary
Informing him that Macmillan will send the corrected proof to his (Knight's) printer, Mr. Constable; adding "I cannot think that the Wordsworth Society will suffer by the speech appearing in Macmillan. If, on getting home, I find I can make up a sentence about the photographs of Wordsworth, I will, and you can add it."
