Letter refers to Blunden's list of [George] Darley contributions [to The Athenaeum].

George Darley (1795–1846) was an Irish poet and writer (pseudonym John Lacy), who became a regular contributor of reviews and occasional papers to The Athenaeum in the early 1830s until his death in 1846.

Blunden joined the staff of The Athenaeum in 1920, as assistant to John Middleton Murry. The 'friend' referred to in the letter is possibly Claude Colleer Abbott (1889-1971) who wrote The Life and Letters of George Darley, poet and critic in 1928.
