       Abbot’s Langley, Oct. 8th, 1836.

                                    confidential letter. Had I not previously determined to ![]()

                                    fulfil, in every respect, your wishes as regards the publication of the poem, I
                                    must have been sufficiently convinced by the reasons which you have adduced
                                    (and so happily illustrated) of the necessity for its immediate appearance. 
    
     I will therefore leave this place for Albemarle Street on
                                    Tuesday, and, hoping to find the MS. on my arrival, I will instantly send it to
                                    the printer, and I can now venture to assure you that it shall be announced and
                                    published in strict conformity with the desire of its author. 
     I beg you to believe that I am, dear Madam, 
                                         Your faithful Servant,
