Summary
Giving him permission to use his name to advance interest in Wordsworth and adding that the 3rd of May in London suits him perfectly; commenting on the bust of Wordsworth by Thrupp which he believes "...is the finest thing left of him - The head of his full length statue is not near so fine, though that is very good - But then I ought to remember that I did not know him till he was almost an old man 67 or 8 years old - my recollection may not be a test of the general memory of him."
