Nicholson, 3 November 1881. 2pp, 12mo. On first leaf of bifolium. Nicholson's letter has been forwarded to him 'here in my country house, where I am for a few days'.

'I cannot refrain from thanking for [sic] your admirable note last note [sic] on the vulgar & heartless proposition to make a purse for the Princess Mary as a solatium for her bereavement. What are we coming to, that any journal pretending to represent British feeling & opinion should have given place in their columns to such a proposition! I am sure that numberless people who are not dead to the instincts of good feeling will thank you for what you said.' He knows that some of those who obtained subscriptions 'for her wedding gifts' welcomed Lowe's words 'with the warmest feeling'. He ends: 'In many cases all the subscriptions have already been returned to the donor.' E. B. Nicholson. 3 November 1881. On letterhead of Brintysilio, near Llangollen.

He begins by explaining that they are in Brighton for Lady Martin's health: 'She still suffers much, but is better since we came here rather more than a fortnight since.' He asks whether it was 'the Letter on "Imogen" that was addressed to Miss Swanwick'. Two days before he wrote to Broadfield at the Manchester Guardian office, 'to say that the volume containing the whole of Lady Methuen's letters was to be published this week, & expressing a hope that you would review it for the Examiner. It has had every justice done to it in externals, & I think you will say it is a very elegant volume.' Martin hopes it may 'find favour with Shakespearean scholars'. TWO: To Moo.
