Introduction
The sonnet “Mac Craken” is added at the end of DGR's letter, along with his copy of Tennyson's poem, both of which are cancelled through in the manuscipt (though by whom is uncertain). The letter was first published in WMR's Family Letters , where the text of both Tennyson's poem and DGR's parody are also printed.
