Book Description

4 ALsS. Letters concern their respective bouts of ill health, dinner invitations, and references to their various works in progress. One letter discusses a change Rossetti would like made to his poem "Sister Helen," which is to appear in Barnett Smith's volume of selected poetry: "The line stands in English ed: 'But Keith of Ewern's sadder still.' It should read: 'But he and I are sadder still.'" Another letter chides Watts for never showing Rossetti his sonnet on the death of President Garfield.
