Almost a Fight.

Brought Back His Own Letter.
Sir Edward, continuing, said that Mr. Wilde had been a close friend of the Queensberry family until 1893, when he learned of the offensive statements being made against him by a man named Wood, who had either stolen or found some letters written by Mr. Wilde to Lord Alfred Douglas. He offered to return these letters for money and afterwards, at Wood's earnest entreaty, Mr. Wilde paid his fare to America. Later Mr. Wilde learned that two men named Kneblin and Allen pretend to have in their possession compromising letters, but Mr. Wilde refused to purchase them. Mr Wilde, he said, admitted having written in 1893 a most extravagant letter to Lord Alfred Douglas in answer to a poem the latter had written. Despite the sentiments expressed in this letter the jury must take into consideration the artistic circle in which Mr. Wilde moved. Mr. Wilde himself described this letter as a "prose sonnet."

"My Dear Boy--Your sonnet is quite lovely. Your roseleaf lips seem made no less for the music of song than for the madness of kisses. Your slim, gilt soul walks between poetry and passion.

Come here whenever you like, but go to Salisbury first."

My own dear boy-
Your sonnet is quite lovely and it is a marvel that those red roseleaf lips of yours should be made no less for the music of song than for the madness of kissing. Your slim gilt soul walks between passion and poetry. I know that Hyacinthus, whom Apollo loved so madly, was you in Greek days. Why are you alone in London and when do you go to Salisbury? Do go there and cool your hands in the grey twilight of Gothic things and come here whenever you like. It is a lovely place; it only lacks you, but to Salisbury first. Always with undying love, yours
