{"value"=>"<p>[No place]; fragment reads in full: \"I have no news from this Quarter, but that our trees are of foliage this year unusually luxuriant; so much so, that many of the Dwellings of this neighbourhood seem packed in green leaves like precious Trinkets in cotton. Every thing about us looks bright, clear, soft, sheltered and peaceful; for the weather has been quite heavenly for many weeks.\" The text on the verso has been thoroughly cancelled. Fragment inlaid to a larger sheet with a clipped signature mounted at end. Also mounted on this sheet is an engraved portrait of Wordsworth by Henry Meyer after Richard Carruthers and a scrap of paper on which someone (perhaps Wordsworth) has written: \"The Title may be given / The Excursion / being a Portion of / The Recluse / a Poem / by William Wordsworth.\"</p>"}
