Algernon C. Swinburne letter to Bryan Waller Procter [i.e. Barry Cornwall]
Description:
Referencing a sonnet by Charles Lamb, a friend of the recipient. "I send you some verses written a day since on reading Charles Lamb's sonnet to you & remembering what you said (in jest) to Mr. Bayard Taylor and myself the other day about your poetry being now less well know than it had been. My tribute is less worth having, but not less sincere; so perhaps you will take it & excuse it – as what it is, an impromptu."
