Summary
Saying that he has left her "the first two Parts of the biographical, or philosophico-biographical Poem to be prefixed or annexed to the Recluse : your Ladyship may perhaps wish to look them over;" discussing the sentiments in a letter Davy wrote to him which he gave to Lady Beaumont and defending himself against what was said about him in the letter and adding that he "SOLEMNLY assured both Davy and Wordsworth, that I knew myself better than they could & that I knew, that they had grossly over-rated me;" concluding that the letter pained him, especially after giving it to her, and requesting that she allow one of her servants to take an accompanying letter to Mr. Davy.
