GE to [George Simpson?], Earlswood Common, 16 June 1874
Text: Anderson Gallery, 25 April 1916, item 322.
I have just been writing to London to Mr. John Blackwood -- that the price of the book, especially since it turns out saleable, can well allow a handsome tinted paper, and I rejoiced so much in the sight of the extra copies in which my verses were on a paper which invited and cherished my eye, that I was angry at my own share in the choice of a thin volume --
Have you still a copy (or two) to spare? If you have, I should be much obliged by your sending them to us, as we want them to present to friends. We have had seven I think.
