Summary
Saying that it turns out to be number 6, not 7, of the Wordsworth Society Transactions that he needs in order to have a complete set, which he intends to have bound (see MA 9087.7); writing that he fears it may not be possible to get a copy, or that "you will vote me an intolerable bore" for pestering them for one; asking Knight what he owes him for the volumes he has already received.
