Summary
Asking if he could help him secure a copy of the letter from Wordsworth to John Scott, Editor of The Champion, dated April 18, 1816; saying "I should like to be able to give an account of Scott's aches(?) in the matter - He is an old school fellow of B's [Byron] at Aberdeen, and was afterward on friendly terms with Byron;" saying he is reading his last volume on Wordsworth and sees that "...you include some notes and remarks of mine - but you do not so far as i can see republish Dorothy W's beautiful lines 'Grasmere, A Fragment' which I published in the Monthly Packet;" adding that he has not forgotten his promise of the autographs for Dove Cottage.
