(1904) Crane outlines his understanding of "the terms under which 'The Golden Primer' was produced" based on his co-author's (Meiklejohn) letters - three fifths of the proceeds. He quotes relevant detail from two letters,on of which discusses a cheap edition for schools. "I find a dummy copy of this with a cover design of mine & Blackwood's imprint". He thinks a re-issue in the "original form" a good idea. (1910) He agrees to the proposal concerning the re-issue of "The Golden Primer", & accepts terms, royalties of 15% "on the published price of all copies sold less the 13th copy for the Trade." Finally, he announces that he will be returning to 13 Holland Street in the course of September. Both letters are addressed to "Sir", and the contents suggest the same correspondent was implicated.

In the letter dated December 5, 1880, Holmes writes to thank a poet for sending him a volume of poems and for his "courteous words": "The Ars Poetica is so largely cultivated now that a writer of a bygone time like myself is sometimes bewildered in finding himself in a throng of new-born singers, and a kind word is as needful to him from time to time as to the fledgling who is just trying his powers." These light and humorous essays on various subjects first appeared serially in The Atlantic Monthly. They are among Holmes's most famous writings, and those most reflective of him as the model polymath physician and humanist. BAL 8791.
