TALBOT6015

My dear Sir,

I have had a slight peep at the article in the Quarterly. ¹ What I have seen has quite determined me to do any thing in my power to counteract such an act of obscurity. But I have just heard that Emerson ² has already filled the next number of the Edinburgh. ³ If this is so I shall be partly pleased, partly [illegible deletion] annoyed. In other words I shall be pleased to have a little more time for writing, on the other I shall be sorry to let the ignorant injustice of that paper to work its mischief in the interval. Could you learn how the matter stands.

Believe me yrs very truly
