Dear Sir
  The papers say you
are engaged upon a
complete edition of your
Poems I have been
an admirer thereof for
some six years and
believe myself to have
learned from themI have the Rossetti 
edition but should like
to have the complete
one I enclose a
money order for L 4.18.0
(somewhere about $20)
for an early copy
  I would send you a
volume of poems of
my own but they are
very juvenile and I
would rather not be
known of by them
  Would your health 
permit you to come to
England? My wife + 
I would both be delighted
if you could come and
stay with us so long
as might suit you
I expect in the spring
we shall be resident
a few miles out ofthe same vein of mystic
realism.  And if so,
could you spare me one
or two for the Magazine
which I represent?
I am sorry that but a trifle
could be offered for them,
as the Magazine has been
neglected of late, and has
only recently come into
my hands, to be worked up
again by labour & patience

I trust you are as well
as you expect to be, and nearly
as happy as you hope.
Yours faithfully
Kenningale Cook

Dear Sir,
I have been reading 
aloud your 'Whispers
of Heavenly Death' this
evening from the copy
which you so kindly sent
me in March 1876; and
it has led me on to
ask if you have any
poems still unpublished inFORWARDED
