Autograph letter signed : Curragh Chase, to W.A. Knight, 1884 Apr. 9.

Thanking him for the copy of the Transactions and expressing pleasure that the new edition and the Life will be out so soon, saying that Wordsworth once told him "that the alterations made by him from the original copy of a poem consisted much more often in expression than in comprehension," hoping to send him before long his new essay entitled "Wisdom & Truth" in Wordsworth's poetry which will be printed in the American journal, hoping to republish all of his Wordsworth essays with essays on other great poets, saying he has arranged with Dr. Grosart to include "Recollections" among these and promising that Knight can quote freely from this, asking him to dissuade the Wordsworth Society from asking him to preside over a meeting, and explaining his reasons.
