Summary
Telling Knight he has no new information for Knight's life of Wordsworth except unprinted letters from Coleridge to John Thelwall which include references to Wordsworth; asking, in reference to these letters, if Knight knows how Wordsworth incurred the "persecution of the aristocrats" by an "overt or covert act before 1796."
