April 21 – /86 1886 The Corner House Shortlands, Kent. Dear Mr. Ruskin

We have never met – but I think my forty years of literary work cannot be unknown to you – will you let me add your honored name to the list of signatures for a less fortunate author than either you or I – whom you may also have known yourself in our dear Italy. –

I often hear of you – through mutual friends – the Prices of Oxford – the Holman Hunts &c – & I am sure you will not count this intrusion – for a good end.

Yours sincerely DMCraik –
