PALGRAVE
(Francis Turner, 1824-1897, Poet, Critic, Editor of the 'Golden Treasury')
Autograph Letter Signed to "My dear Cecil" annotated in another hand as Alderson,
thanking him for his note which "was the sixth kind message I have received from your family. Cambridge is certainly a poor sort of University, it has no such Professorship. I wish your note could have been multiplied a thousand-fold, so as to keep out that great statesman R. Spencer. I have just returned from Lyme ... it is now impossible that there can be a majority, I fancy although I have a note from Hatfield tonight ... speaks with much satisfaction of the advance in Conservative feeling. Perhaps also it is not that the others should first have the nationalists to deal with, and break up in the effort. I hope I may some time be able to accept your invitation. I should like nothing better. But it must be at a more favourable time of year, when one can enjoy open air and country scenes. Remember me to your wife. I hope her mother is well. Have you ever hear what Layard means to to with the excellent picture collection which he has got together? I hope he may be about to immortalise his name by giving some at least to the N. Gallery ...", 4 sides 8vo., 15 Chester Terrace, Regent's Park headed paper, 4th December
