Summary
Asking if he could see "...once more the printed proof of the Letters of S.T. Coleridge to Sir George Beaumont? I am anxious to catalogue my known letters - Should I, do you suppose, be entitled to print in the Biography I have in hand any letter or letters which may strike me as suitable? My impression is that the letters you sent me cover the ground of other letters which I have in my possession, but a year and a half continued study of the matter of course enables me to regard any new information from a very different standpoint - Was there not a 'Coleorton' Book to be published - may I ask if anything of the kind is still contemplated;" asking, on a separate sheet of paper which is signed, about some H. Clarkson correspondence and adding that he has "lately had a number of letters to H.J. Rose placed in my hands - but they contain little that is new;" It is unclear if this additional page properly belongs with this letter, but it is housed with it.
