Transcript or Index	Kelmscott House, Upper Mall, Hammersmith March 16th 1883 My dear Sir Thank you for your kind letter: I will correct the proofs tomorrow: I should have done so yester- day but Mr Horsfall wanted me to answer Mr Dunckley in the Examiner so I spent a great part of the day in that I fear rather hopeless ender- prise if enlighteningh him on matters of art: if he does not take care he will live to hear the workds 'fossilized Radical' as freely applied as fossillized Whig has already been. But so goes the world and the Radical of one generation becomes the Tory of the next unless a man really keeps his eyes open. I am My dear Sir Yours very truly William Morris
