Excerpt from Letters Literary Remains of Edward Fitzgerald, Vol. 1 of 7
After Mr. FitzGerald"s death in June 1883 a small tin box addressed to me was found by his executors, containing among other things corrected copies of his printed works, and the following letter, which must have been written shortly after my last visit to him at Easter that year:
My Dear Wright,
I do not suppose it likely that any of my works should be reprinted after my Death. Possibly the three Plays from the Greek, and Calderon"s Magico: which have a certain merit in the Form they are cast into, and also in the Versification.
However this may be, I venture to commit to you this Box containing Copies of all that I have corrected in the way that I would have them appear, if any of them ever should be resuscitated.
