Summary
Apologizing for "...the frequency with which I have of late availed myself of your kindness. But I have a particular reason for wishing the inclosed to go free; yet cannot effect this with delicacy except by a Frank;" providing John Anster's address in Dublin; telling him that Mr. Gillman will call on him and he looks forward to hearing news of Mr. Tulk when Mr. Gillman returns; adding "I am working night & day for the Press, and with answering an unusual influx of Letters, which must be answered & some of them at length. My name, I find, has been proposed as an Associate of the Royal Society of Literature; it is a 100£ a year versus a Yearly Essay;" sending good wishes to Mrs. Tulk from Mrs. Gillman.
