Summary
Replying to Professor Knight's request for information on an early letter of Samuel Taylor Coleridge; explaining that all of his time has been taken up with his work on Byron; adding that he has seen that Professor Knight's work on Wordsworth has been "duly recognized and appreciated - in spite of the carpings of the Athenæum critic - I have not yet seen the volumes themselves, but no doubt shall get a sight of them before long - I trust that your son's health is [illegible] by his stay on the Continent & that you are yourself in good fettle."
