| Description | - One letter from British art critic and non-artist member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Frederic George Stephens to William Allingham thanking him for the copy of Allingham's new set of poems, sent to him by Allingham's publisher. Stephen's mentions that he has the first series of "Day & Night Songs," and the larger version was published by Chapman & Hall. Stephens writes that he introduced Allingham's poems "Aeolian Harps" and "The Seranade," to a lady who would like Allingham's permission to set the latter poem to music, but not to be published. Stephens also mentions a theory of dew-formation that may be interesting to Allingham, as he mentions "falling dew" in his poem "In the Dusk." He is looking forward to seeing Allingham in town, and wants to meet so that Allingham may keep his promise of writing a boating song, and writes that he will provide Allingham with the facilities of studying the subject. In a post-script, Stephens compliments the woodcut done by artist Arthur Hughes, written as A.H., for Allingham's poem "The Faeries. 1 leaf, 3 pages 20 x 24.8 cm. eng London (England)
