Evidence:
'I bought yesterday a little shilling book about Wm. Morris, his life and his work, which is rather interesting. To me, at least, for I am afraid you have given up that old friend of ours....That little book about Wm. Morris has interested me so much - or re-awakened the old interest - in him, that I have just written up for "The Roots of the Mountains"...it is about the Goths and is praised in that book as being one of the best of the prose romances.'
