Summary
Discussing his "unequal division of the copies [of his poem "Orion"] between her and Miss Mitford; saying he is still not well and thinking of joining his mother at the seaside to "...rest - no work - the sea, and unbusiness-like exercise;" asking that he inform Miss Mitford of the postage requirements for her copies to be sent; sending her "the three last copies" of the First Edition and one copy of the 2nd Edition so that she will see the revisions; concluding "The bright star you mention I know well. I saw it the first night of its recent visit - and know it of old."
