Returns PE's notes on Eq. (to be returned by PE for the press - therefore with observations by JHM?). Good to see PE engaged with the Germans. Blomfield archdeacon of Colchester. Sends remembrances and thanks to Gaisford - sorry to hear about his wife.
Wynnstay (the family home in Denbighshire). Apparently giving advice to PE on how to woo and propose to a woman (PE described as 'naturally shy'). Dated 'Sunday'.
May soon have two rather than just one uncle in the Cabinet, so may be able to assist PE with a preferment. His grandmother's legacies. PE should have ordered some copies of his Sophocles to be printed on large paper, to be given as presentation copies. Hears that Carey is doing well at Westminster. Southey's Amadis is in the press
Asks for two copies of PEW's Sophocles (one for him, one for his uncle Tom). C Burney has been to dinner - talk of mss., one supposedly the 1st act of Sophocles' Clytemnestra, but probably a composition of the time of Gregory Nazianzen, and the other a ninth century Plato containing nothing new, but which might confirm some readings. PE needs good corrector - he does not possess attention enough to proofread.
Charles Burney has described PE as among the first scholars of the present day. Has visited William Vincent and William Carey (a new broom sweeping remarkably clean). His trunk has been cut from behind his carriage, so he has lost all his wardrobe, and his great coat has been purloined by Mullens (OW John?).
Request for PE to buy a pair of oval compasses for Mr Wingfield (cf.391?). Regrets that the paths of literature and politics keep them apart. Suggestion to visit Southey at Keswick in August.
