Summary
Discussing a book that Brooke has promised to write on the history of English poetry; saying that he will think the matter over carefully before he writes again; adding that he has not heard from the publisher, Murray, how long books in the series usually are; writing that it "does not seem possible to carry the book beyond the death of Keats & Shelley"; commenting, on the idea of an American edition, that "I am likely to have a determined view of the matter between Murray & myself"; apologizing for giving Knight so much trouble.
