From Thomas Beddoes to James Watt   28 February 1804

My dear Sir

My friend Coleridge is going for his health to Sicily – It w^d be an useful act of kindness if you c^d give him any introductions to a native or English resident –

I think he w^d perform any mineralogical commissions for you –

I have anxiously enquired here in town about Gregory’s health – but can make out nothing – I wish sincerely on my return that I may hear a favourable acct –

I am
D^r Sir
Y^r faithful & obliged friend

Thomas Beddoes
