‘Dear Rogers,—Your long-expected letter arrived this morning and has lost nothing of its sweetness on the road. Praise is delightful, and I hope it is good for me. I like your notion of compression much. The whole thing is too long, and that, if there were not other objections, would form a strong one against any previous description of the individuals. Let me have my MS., for I have no copy and wish much to show it to my uncle Ossory, and if possible, to compress it. Mark the parts you think susceptible of compression with a pencil,
SKETCH OF A POEM271
—you shall have it back again, if you wish it, the moment I have taken a copy.

‘Yours,
‘Vassall Holland.’
