Autograph letter signed : place not specified, to William Allingham, 1855 Mar. [17].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/707748081

Writing a "most vexatious letter" to report that the engraver Dalziel has ruined his design (for Allingham's poem "The Maids of Elfen Mere"); saying that he would enclose a proof, but "really don't like to, before you've been prepared for the horror of it." Promising to devote the rest of the letter to more pleasant news, and reporting that Ruskin has bought for £30 "every scrap of designs hitherto produced by Miss Siddal." Noting that Ruskin declared that they were "far better" than Rossetti's and was "quite wild with delight at getting them." Enclosing (not present) a letter from Ruskin to Siddal and mentioning that "Ruskin's praise is beginning to bear fruit already." With a postscript asking him to return Rossetti's manuscript of Italian poetry translations "as Ruskin has asked me more than once to see them."
