Excerpt from More Letters of Edward Fitzgerald
The letter to Dean Merivale, one of his oldest friends, has already appeared in the Dean's Auto biography and Letters. It is the only one which has been preserved, and I am indebted to the kindness of Miss Merivale and her publisher, Mr. Edward Arnold, for permission to reproduce it here. From internal evidence, I have placed it two years earlier than the date assigned to it by Miss Merivale.
