Summary
Concerning Coleridge's contribution to the memorial Knight is writing in honor of Principal Shairp; saying he has been working very hard but "...composition has become so difficult & laborious a thing for me - Lady Coleridge & I think if it is really the same to you that Saturday the 1st of October will be the best day for you to come to us; & we shall look forward to your coming with great pleasure - If you come from Bath your best way is by Templecombe as we are actually on the South Western Line & if you come to the Ottery S. Mary station you shall be met & brought to my house which is but a few minutes from the Station."
