ALFRED AUSTIN
The Poet Laureate will try to attend a meeting.
Autograph Letter signed: "Alfred Austin", 1 page, 5¼x8¼. Swinford Old Manor, Ashford, Kent (England), 1905 February 21. On personal letterhead to "Dear Sir", in full: "I will do my best to attend your meeting on Monday. But, in order to do so, I must leave [illegible place name] by 8:30 am tomorrow. Being faithfully".  Originally trained in the law, Alfred Austin (1835-1913), who later edited the "National Review", followed Lord Tennyson as Poet Laureate of England (1896-1913). Major themes in his poetry include a love of nature and strong patriotism. Austin had first came to prominence with The Season: A Satire (1861). In 1870, he wrote The Poetry of the Period, a criticism that attacked Tennyson and other poets of the day. Toned and lightly creased. Corners worn and lightly chipped. Mailing fold through center. Pencil notes (unknown hand) on verso. Otherwise, fine condition.
