Milnes  [Lord  Houghton],  and  it  proved  to  be  all
his  own  works,  and  a  splendid  edition  of  Keats
with  a  memoir  by  Mr.  Milnes.  This  elegant  gift
was  only  a  return  of  favors,  as  Mr.  Hawthorne
had  just  sent  him  some  American  books.  He
expended  three  notes  upon  my  husband's  going
to  meet  him  at  Crewe  Hall,  two  of  entreaty  and
one  of  regret ;  but  he  declares  he  will  have  him  at
Yorkshire.  Mrs.  Milnes  is  Lord  Crewe's  sister.
