Summary
Explaining why he will not provide information on his biography to their correspondent; saying "...for altho' innumerable critical & personal articles upon my career & works have appeared in many languages, I take no account of them, never preserving nor even reading them, as I consider accurate Biography almost less possible than veracious history. The best representations of an Author are in his books;" adding that he has replied to Rose Seaton's letter."
