Autograph letter signed : Weston, to Walter Bagot, 1788 Oct. 30.

Discussing a visit to Bagot's brother Howard; mentioning shared acquaintances and wishing the Chesters lived near Weston Underwood; expressing pleasure that Bagot enjoyed the verses Cowper wrote about his "little dog"; reporting that he wrote another "meditation upon Church-yard Subjects," and this is likely "to be an annual remittance" as the clerk who hired him has indicated that he will continue to ask him for poems; noting that he considers these poems "even mor[e] important than Iliad and Odyssey together. To p[ut] others in mind of their latter end, is at least as proper an occupation for a man whose own latter end is nearer by almost sixty years than once it was, as to write about Gods and heroes."
