Addressed To?: Charlotte Symonds
Importance?: Recited in part (the poem "Guinevere," in its first version) by Dr. Symonds to an audience including at least Charlotte, but not Symonds
Owned?: Probably
Evidence: "Your rhapsodies about Guinevere are very enthusiastic, though I have no doubt that they were justified by the occasion. A fine poem is always better for being read, & when Papa reads Guinevere he adds something wh one does not get in a mere tête à tête with the poem."
