- Summary:
- "The manuscript is a fair copy of a poem by Moore included in a letter, 25 October 1831, to John Murray II. The fair copy is accompanied by a note, "The obliterated lines", which includes an attempt by the copyist to transcribe the final, heavily deleted verse of Moore's original. The copy is undated. The accompanying note is also undated, but the paper on which it is written has a partial watermark, "31", which would suggest that the note and copy are contemporary with the original. Samuel Smiles included a transcription of Moore's verse in his discussion of Moore in "A publisher and his friends"."
