Our elegant poet Fenton, having written a _Life of Milton_, and no doubt

often visited his place of nativity (Shelton, in the Staffordshire

Potteries), he surely must have known _something_ respecting _Milton's_

third wife's family, who lived only a few miles from thence; and if the

Fenton papers have, as is probable, been preserved by his family, some of

whom I am informed still live in the neighbourhood of Shelton, it is not

unlikely they will throw some light on the family of the poet's widow.
