[Letter] [18]84 April 4 [to] Mr. Carey / Edmund Gosse.

See also another letter from Gosse in the collection as well as a letter from Alfred Pollard which discusses Gosse's manuscript corrections, and a letter from infamous literary historian and forger Thomas J. Wise regarding Gosse's remarks on Shelley in the _Sunday Times_ .

Gosse writes to Carey to alert him that Miss Helen Zimmson is in Italy and will not be available to correct the proofs; as a result, it contains "serious errors" and Gosse has "taken upon myself to read it very carefully," to correct the errors, and transmit it back to Carey. Gosse also mentions that Zimmson was pained because her name did not appear with a previous article she wrote; he asks Carey to "kindly see that she has credit given her for her present article in the magazine." A literary historian, translator, and critic, Gosse worked in the library at the British Museum (1865-1875), translated Ibsen, edited Swinburne's letters, wrote about his travels in America, lectured on English literature at Trinity College, Cambridge (1885-1890), and was the librarian to the House of Lords (1904-1914).
