Wilde, Oscar, ca. 1898 Dec. 28

Wilde thanks Housman for sending his book All-fellows: "Your prose is full of cadence and colour, and has a rhythmic music of words ... I have lately been reading your brother's lovely lyrical poems, so you see you have both of you given me that rare thing happiness." He also writes of working on a poem "terribly realistic ... and drawn from actual experience," and describes the scenery and people of Napoule.
