Typed Letter Signed to De V. Payen-Payne.

Poet and man of letters (1884-1958). One page, 4to, fold marks, sl. wear, text readable. " . . . I think the occasion for using that poem by Collins would be the next occasion on which we mention - as we are bound to mention - the Artist's Rifles [last work in ms.]/ It will go in very nicely if you will let me hold it up for a bit. I don't blame Wise about the Swinburne poems; I don't think there is a man in the world who could tell one Swinburne poem from another, once you have ruled out the few best. I should be delighted to come down any time and sign the other copies you have got of my works. I expect there are one or two you have not got hold of, and I may be able to supply the missing link."
