Summary
Thanking him for his latest volume of Wordsworth's prose works and offering a suggestion for a later edition; saying he is pleased that Knight is contemplating an edition of all of Wordsworth's works "in connection with his sister's journals" and hoping that he will "restore the Ode on 'Intimations of Immortality' to the place he always assigned to it, that of the high altar of his Poetic Cathedral;" explaining why he thinks it was originally placed in the first edition as it was.
