He has openly declared that his avowed object is to await the release of Oscar Wilde, when he will at once transport him to the Italian coast. Young Douglas has written a sonnet, which he told a French journalist, would be the first piece of reading Oscar would have from the outside world, and until then no one would be permitted to see the manuscript.
