Letters and Journals of Lord Byron
Lord Byron to Lord Holland, 22 September 1812
“September 22d, 1812.
“MY DEAR LORD,
“In a day or two I will send you something which you will
still have the liberty to reject if you dislike it. I should like to have had more time,
but will do my best,—but too happy if I can oblige you, though I
may offend 100 scribblers and the discerning public.
“Ever yours.
