Summary
Inviting him for a visit: "I can give you a small bedroom, and you can have a room downstairs entirely to yourself in which to work in, where you should be quite uninterrupted"; describing one "Hutchins" as a bore; asking Knight to bring up some books and have them valued (see MA 9087.29 for context); clarifying "I mean the Wordsworths -- not the books on Wordsworth."
