Summary
Saying that ill health and "Little Griefs become great vexations" have prevented him from calling on Godwin; asking Godwin to make sure that Coleridge's advertisement (probably for the lecture series discussed in MA 2204.33-35) runs in the Morning Chronicle, with one alteration; adding "If you have no money in hand, you shall have whatever is requisite for the remaining Lectures (two Advertisements per week) tomorrow night;" entreating him to make sure the advertisement runs tomorrow morning, if possible: "It's non-appearance manifestly thinned my Auditory;" sending his respect to Mary Jane Godwin.
