Letter from W.E. Henley, London, to William Angus Knight, 1893 January 20

Résumé du livre

Concerning the offer of an honorary degree from St. Andrews; saying "I am greatly obliged to you for your letter, which gave me equal pleasure & surprise. I can scarce (I admit)believe it to be in the intention of your University to confer so excellent a distinction on one who has done so little as myself; nor, in the absence of a formal intimation of that intention can I speak definitely in relation to the matter. But, as I have said, I hear of the possibility of such a gift with very great pleasure."
