Summary
Commenting on Richepin's "Ballade Ponchon" and "Ballade Villon;" commenting on Henley's double Ballade and expressing his hopelessness at ever creating a "real poem in these forms;" adding "I should like to have a chat with you. But I have been, and am in some domestic trouble, which has almost taken all the verse out of me...;" concluding that he will look out for Henley's ballades in "Belgravia" and the "Illustrated Dramatic."
