Autograph letter signed : [Asolo], to William Angus Knight, 1900 July 29.

Saying that he has looked through his father's papers, but found only four letters from Knight, which he is enclosing (these are no longer with the item); adding that he has found "no such sonnet as you describe"; discussing Robert Browning's destruction of correspondence: "My father only succeeded in struggling successfully against an accumulation of correspondence by periodically destroying it! When moving from Warwick Crescent to De Vere Gardens, he burnt a great quantity of letters, and his having kept these of yours is a proof of the value he attached to them"; writing about Browning's birthplace: "My aunt assures me the house in Camberwell, in which she as well as my father was born, has been pulled down years ago: and I always understood from my father that the part of Camberwell where the house was had been entirely rebuilt and changed beyond recognition."
