Summary
Concerning copies of Coleridge letters Knight has asked for; saying "I will try to let you have those letters - But I am quite alone & have no one to copy them & just now I am in the midst of great anxieties which not only worry me but take up a great portion of my time. My cousin Ernest Coleridge has the volume which contains them - but I will try to get it back from him. I am afraid just now it is quite hopeless for me to undertake anything as to Wordsworth much as I should like it."
