One letter from English poet John Drinkwater to Helen Allingham writing about a review he wrote for "William Allingham, A diary," and enclosed the article which he had written. Drinkwater approaches Helen regarding the idea of having a volume of selected poems by William Allingham be printed. Drinkwater indentifies himself as not knowing much about the subject, but suggested that six collated volumes is difficult for readers to obtain.
