              Ashtown Cottage,​​​​​    Forest Row.    Sussex.   Sunday.   My dear Horton,   Iseult does not go to the British Museum because she is  working at the school of Oriental languages under Denison Ross.  She is an assistant librarian and student of Bengali and Sanskrit.  She is working very hard and has good reports from her teachers and  will not now I think go to Dublin. I am therefore no longer very  anxious. She could stay with us to-morrow for a few days.   Yours,   W.B.YEATS.        W.T. Horton, Esq.,   63, Cartwright Gardens    W.C.
