Autograph letter signed : Grasmere, to Lady Beaumont, [1806] July 9.

Telling Lady Beaumont that her brother received Sir George's letter on Friday evening, and his intention of replying for himself, prevented her from writing; announcing that her brother and Miss Hutchinson have left to Park House for a few days, leaving her to pen their opinions and feelings of the accommodations and the inn that they will likely have for her visit; showing her gratitude to hers and Sir George's offer about housing in Coleroton since there are no available houses near them for winter and that they have outgrown there home, leaving no quiet space for William to work; saying that since William has returned from London they have thought about Coleorton and the Beaumont's home, but expressing one circumstance that dampens their prospects of moving, is the thought of being at their house without them being there; stating that it would be most desirable and fair to wait to see if a house in their neighborhood becomes vacant and defer their journey until the end of next summer; pointing out to Lady Beaumont that one week of July has passed, so she better make travel arrangements soon, if she is to come visit this month like she planned; concluding that she believes Lady Beaumont will be comfortable at the house in Grasmere, but there are lodgings at Keswick as well, if she doesn't mind being in the town, but if she wishes this then she needs to let them know so they can write to Mr. Edmondson; adding that she just began reading Mr. Knight's "Analytical enquiry into the principles of taste" which she sent and mistakenly received a third copy of "The lay of the last minstrel".
