Summary
Concerning the second volume of "Tales [of Fancy]" saying "...I have been much indisposed, and still continue in a very ailing state. All application to my pen is at present out of the question; and as health must with every one be the first consideration, I am obliged to add, that the second volume of Tales which I had promised myself should be prepared for you about this time, must necessarily wait till I am in a fitter state for the employment;" thanking him for sending a copy of "...Emma, which, even amidst languor and depression, forced from me a smile, & afforded me much amusement. Books, indeed, are now so desirable a resource to me, at those intervals when I am able to read, that it will be a real kindness if you will occasionally have the goodness to supply me, either with French or English novelties."
