The letter is written on a wrapper for 'The Polygot Newsletter, a Summary in English, French, German and Spanish, for Transmission to Europe'. The Polygot was printed and published for the proprietors at the 'Punch' Office, Melbourne, October 1858. The wrapper has an etching of 'View on the Yarra near Dight's Mills' by F.

Dated conjecturally by the reference to the 'ingenious paper' which may have been, as Toynbee suggests, the 'essay' on Mrs Porter as Clytemnestra in James Thomson's Agamemnon, referred to in Thomas Gray to Horace Walpole 23 Feb. 1738 (GRAY i. 151 and n. 2). Mrs Porter played Clytemnestra at the first performance of Agamemnon 6 April 1738 at Drury Lane (London Stage Pt III, ii. 710). Walpole had apparently written to Gray on the subject while the play was in rehearsal. Address: To the Honourable Horace Walpole.
