Evidence:
Henry James to Ford Madox Hueffer, 23 May 1900, thanking him for copy of his newly published volume of verse: 'I think your doubt about the verses misplaced and unjustified -- all those I have yet read seeming to me to hold their own very firmly indeed. Those I have read -- and re-read -- are the little rustic lays -- several of which I think admirable'.
