Summary
About Wilde's review article of Henley's A Book of Verses; hoping he has read Wilde's review of "poor Sharp" [William Sharp's Romantic Ballads], saying "I think I have been fair all round--as fair as an Irishman with a temperament ever wants to be; mentioning Willie Richmond; and noting his inspiration for the poem "Symphony in Yellow": "I have sent Dunn a wicked little symphony in yellow, suggested by seeing an omnibus ... crawl across Black friars Bridge one foggy day about a week ago--He expresses himself`quite charmed' but says, not unwisely, that he is uncertain about publishing poetry!"
