Summary
Regretting that he did not see Allingham while he was in London, explaining that he has been busy house hunting and his wife has been ill; referencing Allingham's poem "Laurence Bloomfield in Ireland;" stating that Ruskin has "carried off" Rossetti's manuscript book of verse and that Rossetti is trying to "get it through the servants" so he may send it to Allingham; alluding to his correspondence with Browning and mentioning that he recently sent him a splendid cast of Keats's head; asking him to return a book.
