William Allingham, a diary . Yes, I had a letter lately. We spoke of Lord Houghton, his kindly nature. Irepeated a verse of I wandered by the brookside, andtold what the author told me ; that he wrote it on an Irishjaunting-car driving to Edgeworthstown to visit MissEdgeworth. A line or two came into his head, somehow ;he made the whole piece, almost without thinking of it,and it seemed to him (then) to have not the least value. 342 SANDHILLS, WITLEY, COOALMINC.
