Summary
Concerning a date for a meeting of the Wordsworth Society; asking him to consult Mr. Arnold's schedule as he will be away from London; adding "The conduct of Wordsworth's does not surprise me. It is of a piece with all I have heard of him - as I think I once told you it almost makes one doubt the wisdom of the Law of Copyright."
