Written from "Stanley Lodge, / Muswell Hill, N." on stationery engraved with the address.
With a penciled list at the bottom explaining three references in the letter.
This letter is one of a small collection of eight letters from Henley to various recipients written between 1890 and 1897 ( MA 6409.1-8).
Saying " Very many thanks. But I fear there's nothing to be done but bury the letter. And that I cannot do. As to asking a favour of [W. Craibe] Angus, when I tell you that I decided to decline his help very early in the First Volume, you'll see that it is not to be done. I never credited the ascription of those articles to you. The Common Fool, whatever his line of country, never wrote for The National Observer."
