Apologises for not seeing PE in town - everyone's minds in such a state of high fever that he could not think of Greek. PE to Paris - asks for notes on mss. Of Alcestis.

PE has promised an Annotation on each of Porson's plays - could PE instead insert in the 6th No. of Mus.Crit. that on the Hecuba? If so, JHM will propose the play as one of the subjects for next October for his 'young men.' Many members of university absent (see next letter).Also seeks a book review of anything.

Desperate for PE's notes on Hecuba.

Coming to town in a few days - some confidential things to discuss. Allies now in Paris, and the pictures, statues and mss. are safe.

Trinity news. Adversaria being reprinted in Leipzig - will PE review it? He is the only person with a sufficiently wide knowledge, and superior to Blomfield and Gaisford. Part of PE's commonplace book on Athenaeus would thus be made known.

Still no IT.

PE has been generous in some way to or about Barker (who has been the author of a forgery, and is preparing an attack on JHM). On PE's advice JHM has not written to the Gentleman's Magazine - but asks PE to do so on his behalf.

Accepts PE's offer of commentary on Medea for 5th No. of Mus.Crit. Urges PE to write an account of the ed. of Sophocles. Dobree collating mss. of Demosthenes in Paris - soon to be returned to Vienna. JHM drawing up notes on Alcestis, to be printed in new year. Punctuation marks in Alc. 29-37 and Med. 84f.

PE's notes on Medea and oversights of Porson - the Germans will be envious.

Wrong number of offprints of PE's Medea article. A term lost because of fears of fever. Dobree returned from two months in Leyden with Wyttenbach (who is in despair after losing his papers). Schaefer's pirated edition of Adversaria. What of annotations on the Hecuba? JHM wants them to have a position of honour in Mus.Crit.No.6. Asks PE to promote the application of John Brass to Leeds Grammar School (he didn't get it). Asks PE to write a review of the Adversaria for the Classical Quarterly - PE apparently has an objection.
