Summary
Quoting a stanza innaccurately and asking which Wordsworth poem it is in (Knight has written "The leech gatherer" next to it); asking about a loan Coleridge received from Wordsworth to go to Malta and wondering if Wordsworth and Coleridge ever "squared up after"; mentioning Coleridge's bitterness toward Wordsworth after "that gushing letter of Coleridge's about the death of the little boy Thomas W."
