Summary
Expressing pleasure that Mr. Arnold and Lord Coleridge will be reading papers at the next meeting of the Wordsworth Society; offering to send a paper to be read at the meeting as he will not be in London in May; thanking him for his offer to send letters "from my dear Friend Mrs. H. N. Coleridge. She was the woman of the highest intellectual faculties I have ever met, & the most remarkable leaning; - & yet her modesty was as striking as those great gifts;" saying he is glad Knight is writing a life of Wordsworth; adding that he has no personal reminiscences of the poet "fit for publication."
