Sending part of Canto II of Rokeby; promising to send the other three sheets int he course of the week; hoping to have completed the first three Cantos by the time he leaves Abbotsford on 11 November; suggesting that the poem can be out by Christmas and instructing Ballantyne "you must not daudle over your typographical scruples; mentioning that because the "public will never be pleased with exactly the same thing a second time," he "saw the necessity of giving a certain degree of novelty, by throwing the interest more on character than in my former poems."
