Summary
Asking him to preach a sermon and asking him to forgive him for not preaching for him in London; inviting him to visit "to see much more of the fairer and better half of your old friend;" discussing how he's settled into his new home; commenting on Lord Byron's funeral saying "What a miserable failure they made of poor Lord Byron's funeral to bring him from Greece where he might have reposed with dignity, to be buried among all the other old Byrons at Huckley or Hockley in the Hole with Nottingham weavers for the mourners is really pitiful."
