Draft letter from J F W [John Frederick William] Herschel, Collingwood, to George Smith, 65 Cornhill Herschel asks whether Smith thinks that a translation of Book 1 of Homer ['The Iliad'] in hexameters would find favour with the editor of the Cornhill Magazine. It would be submitted for his judgement if Smith could give him a precise address. He will send it for perusal. He has desired to place something with Cornhill since it started, but has not yet seen a common ground on which they could meet. Draft written on the verso of an original note from Joseph Gould [HSF/1/2/63]. 10 March 1862
