Both 12mo, 1 p. The second addressed to Hutton, the first to 'My dear Sir'. Both very good on lightly aged paper. Letter One: Thanking him for his book. 'I shall be delighted if you can find out about the residence of Maurice & Robert Hall. It is not creditable to a great city like Bristol that these should not have been identified.' (Note) He feels it would be 'slightly invidious' to publish Hutton's letter. 'But I also am an old customer of Messrs George & highly appreciate the firm.'.…

After discussing a point about Branwell Bronte, he states: 'We cannot rely on Charlotte's assertion that he knew nothing whatever of their ventures in publishing. I am just busy preparing the "Life and Letters" for the Shakespeare Head edition, and have found from Charlotte's letters and other associated facts that she did not always tell the truth.' She describes the 'most glaring instance', concerning 'her references to Balzac's works', and adds that there are ' other instances of deceit in her correspondence with Ellen Nussey'. In the final paragraph he states that his 'old friend Mr. C. W. Hatfield [of the Bronte Society] will not hear a wrong word about Charlotte, and pleads with me to modify my editorial notes concerning the influence of Branwell, whilst my colleagues and editorial chief T.

I wonder if you would be good enough to look this over and give me your opinion and criticism of it.'.…
