Summary
Thanking him for speaking before her "mutilated lecture;" noting that he and Jane are amongst the few friends her poetry has ever had; remarking that the part of his lecture about the three figures in Battersea Park gave her an idea for a poem; referencing seeing them in Aldeburgh, regretting her poor performance there remarking "people must take a dim view of my mental condition;" sending a reprinting of her Planet and Glow-worm.
