Summary
Discussing his schedule and making arrangements to help the peer with a biography of Edmund Burke; explaining that his "suggestion of Mr. Burke's notions, respecting the Irish Massacre, arises solely from hearsay; -- the hearsay, however, of respectable persons"; addressing the theory that "Mr. Burke was concerned on Junius's Letters" and noting that he does not believe it.
