Summary
Recommending accommodation in Keswick and the best mode of transport; adding "Keswick is undoubtedly the best place for headquarters;" adding that he will not be home until the last week in August, but hoping that "Mr. Croker will do me the favour to consider my library as at his service--just as if I were upon the spot."
