Summary
Saying "As soon as I got your note I wrote to my bookseller. I called yesterday & found that he had not been able to get the books in London. He has written about it to Paris & expects to have them in a day or two. I write this, as I fear that you may have been disappointed at not getting them sooner. I shall write about the poems in a day or two. I have not had time to glance at them yet."
