| dc.description.transcription | 46 Marlborough Hill N. W. 21 Nov. 1910 My dear Wise, That 1645 Waller was taken out of the case as I came away because I thought at the moment, without referring, that it was identical with the Roxburgh copy, was not sure you had that, [above this word a penciled cross, and at the bottom of the page, also pencilled, Wis's "I have it."] & thought you might want to compare with Dobell's Walkley copy. Yespl [deleted] Yes, please post mine to me at your convenience. [p. 2] Your new library struck me as being a very fine and delightfully arranged room: I hope you will find it conductive to the production of a heap more good work -- including any project in re Swinburne that you may be entertaining. I had no idea till your letter of the other day (18th) came that you had anything on food beyond the production of the series of tiny first editions. Now that it seems I was mistaken I shall withdraw entirely from the scheme set afoot by Mr. Harper. [p. 3] I am not committed to it. Harper approached me on the vague general question whether it wd. be agreeable to me to edit some Swinburne MSS for his Society; but of course it would not be agreeable if the interests of you or Watts-Dunton were to be in the remotest degree prejudiced by my participation in the matter. I have more than plenty to do in the immediate future. I doubt whether Harper is as much of an aggressor as you think. As to Fat Madge, I should say, as [p. 4] I said to Brown, that he has no notion of printing it. He may be ignorant & narrow on that point; but that is not of any consequence to us others. I daresay Fat Madge is quite a good girl & quite a good poem, & shall be glad to see her when her Mother knows she's out. It is not a "return of the old trouble," dear boy; but the persistence of the permanent trouble that led to the old acute trouble. At present I am not contemplating a further operation; but I shall never be able to get about as of old. Yours as ever, all the same, H. Buxton Forman [flourish] | |
