Summary:

Flattered by gratification Smith and [William] Roscoe received from their visit to Narford. Comments that whilst the English "for more than a century have been in the practice of purchasing minor curiosities in Italy, the French, "at one fell swoop", carried off the best statues, pictures, and the rarest books and manuscripts from the Vatican. Praises Roscoe. Will visit Smith in Norwich, [Norfolk], in the winter.
