This autograph letter signed is a holograph letter from Wilfrid Meynell to Edmund Downey, written from 47 Palace Court. He says he is happy to see Downey "among the publishers again." Schoolboys Three is in publication and he hopes it will sell before Christmas. Schoolboys Three, by William Patrick Kelly, was published in London by Downey and Company with the date 1895; it probably appeared in late 1894 in order to benefit from the Christmas trade. Thus the letter may date from 1894.
