Summary
Thanking him for returning the proofs of The feast of Bacchus; commenting on the publication of his verse drama The Humours of the Court, and the publication of the next of volume of Miles's anthology The poets and poetry of the century; sending him a copy of his "Eton ode", which, he states, "was not included in the festivity which it commemorates owing to Mr. Swinburne having been retained by the authorities, I could not appear without seeming to rival him. I humbly think my ode more to the point."
