Summary
Thanking his correspondent for information that he says he may make use of in the next issue of the Quarterly Review; thanking him also for "the perusal of Sir James Caldwell's volume & for Horace Walpole's notes;" adding that he returned them via Mr. Murray (possibly John Murray) with copies of Walpole's notes and one of Sir James's letters, "in the event of your having no objection to my having copies of those two pieces, which are curious & might be useful to me : but if there be any objection to my having the copies for my private use, you will either throw them into the fire, or do whatever else you think proper with them."
