Sir, Your noble and impassioned protests, both written and spoken, against the massacres of the Christians in Bulgaria have so roused my heart that I venture to send you a sonnet which I have written on the subject.

I am little more than a boy, and have no literary interest in London, but perhaps if you saw any good stuff in the lines I send you, some editor (of the Nineteenth Century perhaps or the Spectator) might publish them: and I feel sure that you can appreciate the very great longing that one has when young to have words of one’s own published for men to read. I remain, in deepest admiration, your obedient servant OSCAR WILDE
