Description
  • One letter from Helen Allingham to English architect and author Basil Champneys regarding his book "The Life of Coventry Patmore," which Helen had acquired. She mentions that she is currently suffering from severe influenza. Helen draws Champney's attention to a mistake made in the volume on page 85, which claims that Patmore had taken Rossetti to see Tennyson.
