Summary
Saying he cannot attend the Wordsworth Society meeting; adding that there is "little chance of [Lord] Ernly's having time to give you an address on the subject of Wordsworth" but suggesting he contact him at the Athenæum Club; mentioning Sir Henry Taylor's autobiography in which there is "frequent mention of Wordsworth...I have heard him say, as my father used to say, that Wordsworth was a greater Poet than Milton."
