Dear Mr Arnold
I must apologise for not thanking you sooner both for your amiable letter and for the poems you have been so kind as to send me. I have been, and am, overwhelmingly busy at Burlington House. I look forward with pleasure to reading your translation both from [-] and from Theocritus. In the case of the 'Simoetha' I have not taken any incident from the 2nd Idyll but only the character of the Sorceress. I remain,
In great haste,
Yours very faithfully
Fred Leighton
