Summary
Arranging a meeting; saying he will try to get "Mr. Wirgman's Article" (probably referring to Thomas Wirgman) and read it before they meet; adding "You know, I suppose, that Mr Wordsworth is in town - & I need not hint, that it would be painful to me, & I trust, to himself that we should meet -."
