Summary
Suggesting that Lord Coleridge "...will be a far better introducer of Mr. Lowell than I could be. I do not like to refuse both your requests, so I will continue a member of the Society for another year; it being understood that I do not continue longer, even if the Society should not, as you anticipate, come to an end."
