Letters (3) from Dante Gabriel Rossetti to W. T. Watts[-Dunton], with one (8 Dec. 1875) from Watts[-Dunton] in reply (ff. 4-18b); 28 Nov. 1875-4 Jan. 1876. The letters chiefly concern a supernatural story told to Rossetti by Watts, which the former intended to use as the subject of a ballad. The poem, described by Rossetti as 'the Michael Scott ballad', was never finished. A prose version and a fragment of poetry are printed in The Works of D. G. Rossetti, 1911, pp. 214, 616. Other subjects of the letters are Rossetti's attempt to buy Aldwick Place at Bognor, and the reinvestment in favour of Mrs Morris of the money received by Rossetti from William Morris when the latter, early in 1875, assumed full owner-ship of the firm of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner and Co.
