My dear Sir

I have been much pleased with the your temperate & effectual reply to the Quarterly critic, in the Literary Gaz^e ? treated

I have had a packet directed to you for some time past, & wish to know if you propose to be in Town soon, or in what way I can best send it –

Y^rs very truly

PS – I have often wished to write an acco^t of your Cloister for the Soc^y of Antiquaries: as a fine specimen – if not the most perfect, remaining in England – attached to a modern residence. – Have you any plan you could lend me, or views?
