'I was too tired upon my return from the [italics]voyage[end italics] [water excursion]
yesterday, to do more than feel very pleased & honored too, by Mr Landor's gift. Thank you
for conveying it to me [...] The Admiral's daughter is the second of the "[italics]Two old men's
tales[end italics]". I read it upon its publication several years ago, & was much struck with its
passion & intensity'. |
