“The accompanying little poem I have the pleasure of sending for the ’New Monthly.‘ I trust the packet which I forwarded to you last week has been received safely, and in sufficient time for the destination of its contents.
“You will do me a kindness by announcing a book of mine, which will shortly be published by Mr. Murray, it is called the ‘forest Sanctuary, with Lays of many Lands, and other poems.’
“The ‘Forest Sanctuary’ is the tale of a Spanish exile, who flies from the religious persecutions of his country in the sixteenth century, and takes refuge in the wilds of America, where he relates his own story. The remaining pieces consist chiefly of the little poems founded on national customs and recollections, which I have, from time to time, sent you.”
