[ Frederick Locker-Lampson, English poet and bibliophile. ] Autograph Letter Signed ('F Locker.') to 'My dear Leigh' [ Henry Sambrooke Leigh ], expressing pride at his offer to dedicate a book to him, and offering to help correct the proofs.

1p., 12mo. In good condition, on lightly-aged paper, with traces of grey paper mount on blank reverse. He does not think the recipient has 'chosen badly as regards the name', and is 'proud to think' the contents 'are to be dedicated to me'. In a postscript he writes: 'Can I help you in looking over any of the proofs?' Leigh had gracefully acknowledged the influence of Locker-Lampson's 'London Lyrics' in the introduction to his 'Carols of Cockayne' (1869).
