LETTER 592
CHARLES LAMB TO CHARLES WENTWORTH DILKE
[No date. Middle Dec., 1833.]
I hoped R. would like his Sonnet, but I fear'd S. that fine old man, might not quite like the turn of it. This last was penn'd almost literally extempore.
YOUR LAUREAT.
Is S.'s Christian name Thomas? if not, correct it.
["R."—Rogers; "S."—Stothard. See next letter.]
