Summary
Writing "What a marvellous conjurer you are to produce that piece of Munro [or Monro] out of your hat, and how kind of you to give it to me! When next you come I will show you how beautifully it fits into its place"; sending him what he describes as "table-scraps" in return: "Walter Crane seems to go well with [Kate] Greenaway, and the label in EBJ's [for Edward Burne-Jones] letter is a rare (if not unique) Kelmscott Press item"; asking "Have you any other desiderata that I might be able to supply?"
