Summary
Concerning Coleridge's letters from Principal Shairp; saying "I am afraid as usual these will be out of time - I have been too careless & lazy - But they seem to me to have much of dear old Shairp in them & at any rate you may like to see them - They are all I can find here - Please return them at any rate when you have read them."
