“. . . I cannot say I take great interest in reviews of my work, & take no pains to see them . . .
The Odes I am sure are by far the best stuff I have published, though they have been received
more coldly than any work of mine. Still they have found appreciation, some of it
enthusiastic, from friends & others whose judgment should count for a good deal. . .” Signed
