Summary
Giving him permission to publish "...the two letters from me to Wordsworth as you propose.. You know all about Henry Taylor - Miss Fenwick was his Aunt, a [illegible] person, masculine in mind, not at all in manner;" referring to a copyright issue and adding "...As to schism...I think it would suffice if you would kindly state on my behalf that after 50 intervening years I should not now inform myself in the same terms. But in 1838 I was a fervent student of Dante and I ought to have remembered that it is upon the authorship of schism that he bestows malediction."
