Summary
Sending him a manuscript "Notice" for a preface to a volume and asking him to send him a copy for review after the piece has been set, as he is "by no means sure that I have said what is proper"; wondering what "Clarinda [i.e., Mrs. Agnes M'Lehose] will think you say to the extract from her letter to [John] Syme in 1796."
