Summary
Suggesting a date for him to preach in the Chapel; asking "What has come of Spinoza? Not that I care much about it; but, all his indignation at my tardiness notwithstanding, Blackwood seems in no hurry with his part of the business. You are, I am told, in fine company in the Scottish Review."
