My dear Grove
Brodie tells me that you must have mistaken him in supposing that he could obtain no opinion from me regarding his lectures1. What he intended to convey (I cannot answer for his words) was that he could obtain no advice or opinion from me at the last i.e. at the time of your dinner conversations as I had declined having any thing more to say. This clears up what seemed to be a contradiction & I promised to speak to you about it[.]
