réf. 1085531 January 1883; on letterhead of 71 West 54th Street New York. 12mo 4 pp. Bifolium. Forty-eight lines. Text clear and complete. Good on aged paper. Begins 'One must needs be a churl indeed to be a laggard in his response to a letter containing "words of so sweet breath composed" as yours!' He thanks Baron for his 'kind & encouraging letter' and considers that an author 'has no keener or more lawful pleasure than to find that the errors of his song or tale has sic lodged as Longfellow says in the heart of some far-off and unknown friend'. He adds with unintentional ambiguity: 'I am vain enough to believe that your liking for my work is real and yet I am not vain enough - I trust - to estimate it above its very modest value.' He is enclosing a photograph not present. Discusses the English edition of his selected poems by Kegan Paul & Trench published three years before and the 'long work' he is engaged on - 'The Rise of Poetry in America' published in 'A Library of American Literature' 1889-1890. The latter covers 'the same period as that embraced by the "Victorian Poets" to which book it will be a companion-volume'. It is a 'laborious' work and has kept him 'from writing poetry of late'. He is 'eager to return to the more imaginative craft' in which he 'first gained a hearing in America'. 31 January 1883; on letterhead of 71 West 54th Street, New York. unknown

Locomotives un steomers I think yol find Un hundreds o things I might name Fast flitted e fancy throo somebody's mind Un war plann'd by sombody's brain.' The second stanza expands on the theme: 'Tho swift wi con travil on land and on sea Discontent is still to be seen; For sum want to travil o new-fanglt wey Throo th'air in o flyin machine: Un shud they succeed as sum think ut they will In thus navigatin the air Streets un roads wod soon be desertud un still Un oytch thing wod look very quare.' Third stanza: 'One fellow is tryin to make o balloon To go ogen th'wint like o ship Un wen it is reddy he'll start very soon Un go on o grand trial trip. Then another I yerd on made sum big wings - He sed he felt shure he cud fly: He geet on o barn un adjusted his things Determin'd he'd have o good try.' The twelfth and last stanza reads: 'To think wot greyt changes this flyin wod bring I fashuns amusements un trade Wod make sum foak deawtful iv onny sitch thing In this world cud ever be made. Fur my part I expect to see flyin foak Soon after I see flyin pigs; Ur elephants makin gowd watches ov oak Ur crocodiles ridin i gigs.'
