Will be moving to Worchester shortly. Theory on stained glass. Regarding his recent pamphlet.

Hopes Frederick [Smith's brother] will be careful whilst staying in their house. His accommodation arrangements for his time in Birmingham. Arrangements for their going to Holkham [Hall, Norfolk, home of Thomas William Coke]. Will not think ill of Lord A. His lectures "very fully & genteelly attended" and he receives "much attention & commendation", there are Cambridge men who also approve highly. His health good except for a feverish catarrh, and escaped all visits under pretence of health. His visit to Edgbaston Hall, now occupied by Dr Edward Johnstone. Sorry to hear of riots near Pleasance.

Thanks for sympathy. Lady Herschel deeply afflicted. Caroline Herschel showing 'uncommon fortitude,' planning to return to Hanover. Heard that [missing] is beyond recovery; hopes she will be spared pain.

His pamphlet in great demand; encloses copy titled "Percussion Locks" which includes three engravings of woodcocks by [Thomas] Bewick [(1753-1828), ornithologist] but drawn by himself and son [extant]. Glad his red viper "has at last bitten somebody's fancy".

Pamphlet entitled "Percussion Locks", by Frankland.
