Autograph letter signed with initials : place not specified, to Jane Simon, undated.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/753577302

Asking her to tell her husband that "Eve's speech in Milton" [Paradise Lost] is--well-- "a piece of foul-dull-dim, degraded--disgusting--boy's bombast.....viciously and unspeakably inconceiving of any womanhood or even distantest capacity of womanhood in a Rib. It's an official monstrosity--it's an Eve with blood of red tape and flesh of blue foolscap paste not made even into paper. It's a miserable round-headed stony hearted--hollow--hateful--horrible--spectre of a Female Formalism. There aren't words dead enough nor clothes enough to dress it with."
