154, Daldey St
Chelsea,--S.W.
July 1st 1881.
My dear Mr. Ireland,
It might, I think, be worthwhile to correct the mis-statement with respect to Thornton Hunt, since it is always a good thing to set facts in their true light. But will you excuse me if I say that you are also a little at fault in stating that the poem “to T. L. H., six years old,” first appeared in the collected edition of Hunts’ poems published in 1832?

154, Daldey St Chelsea,--S.W . July 1st 1881 . My dear Mr. Ireland , It might, I think, be worthwhile to correct the mis-statement with respect to Thornton Hunt, since it is always a good thing to set facts in their true light. But will you excuse me if I say that you are also a little at fault in stating that the poem “to T. L. H., six years old,” first appeared in the collected edition of Hunts’ poems published in 1832 ? [page break] You will find it in “Foliage” (1818), p. xlvii. It must have been written in the latter part of 1816, or early part of 1817 . I shall hope to see you when you visit London in the course of the present months . I most heartily agree in what you say about Mrs. Mayer. She is a very clever woman, marvellously industrious, & full of energy & spirit. Her devotion to her poor suffering husband was splendid; & his affection for her was equally admirable . I send you the best likeness I have of myself. It was taken [page break] as long ago as April, 1869-a few months before I had the pleasure of seeing you in Kensal Green Cemetery. Of course I am looking older now. I have had no photograph taken since - simply from indifference . Believe me Yours very sincerely Edmund Ollier |
