Autograph letter signed : City Road [London], to Mrs. L. [Mary Lloyd] Baker, 1806 June 2.

Concerning some books which he has mistakenly sent to Clare Hall instead of Northamptonshire; noting that he has been making progress with a copy of Homer lent to him by her father ("It is all novelty, all charms, only a little too much blood. There's a critique upon Homer! What do you think of me!!"); expressing his interest in seeing her "scetches of Forest Trees" and examples of her poetry as well as his dissatisfaction with his poem "A first view of the sea": "it is very unequal to the subject, what is the use of a man's saying that the Church in which Nelson was buried is bigger that [sic] the church at Fullham ? Let him tell how big it is! This I could not do, and therefore do not like the piece, any more than you would a picture in which in the outline you had spoiled the perspective."; stating his intentions to visit her at Fullham on the Saturday and mentioning a visit he received from the Duke of Grafton.
