Summary
Apologizing for not answering before; noting verses sent by Williams as "very beautiful" but declining them for "the Magazine" and returning them with "thanks for / the private pleasure it has offered me"; accepting a "prose tale"; hoping "you will not be very impatient as / to the time of its appearance which I fear / cannot be before February"; praising him as "an Author of talents / so various & superior."
