Summary
Telling Knight that he can do nothing "this side of Easter except fight to get thro' each days work," but that he will gladly send him some personal reminiscences afterwards; regarding his lapsed membership in the Wordsworth Society: "There must be some blunder. I bleed guineas every 1/2 hr but I did not grudge this one."
