 JOHNSON, LIONEL (18674902).
Essayist and poet. London.

A.L.S. to Elkin Mathews. lO Jan.1897.
lp. (half of an octave Sheet.)

He inquires about his second book of poems,

which hEVe been ready for a long tbne.

If the poems can be published in the spring,

his promised book of essays will be ready by the
fall. But if that program cannot be followed,

he mush make other arrangements. Mathews evidently
met the conditions, for Johnson‘s second book

of poems, Ireland, wifih Other Foams, appeared in
1897. Mathews had publisled the previous volmne in
1895. Johnson is now perhaps best remembered as
the man who introduced Lord Alfred Douglas to

Oscar Wilde.

Jan.lO,1897.

My dear Mathews,

What about my second book of poems ? They have
been ready for the press a long time, and I am
Very anxious to hare them out, as soon as
possible: so, to judge by endless paragraphs,

are some of my readers and critics. I have

been, and am, so busy, that I can fix no date,

by which my essays will be ready: but, if you would
publish the poems in the Spring, I could promise
the Essays in the autumn. But if you do not

see your way tothat, I must make arrangements
elsewhere: for the poems must come first, and I am
most anxious about their prompt publication.

Please let me have a line:
Very sincerely yours

Lionel Johnson.
