From London - Blomfield about to arrive in town - the three to dine together. Suggests Ibbotsons Hotel (off Oxford Street - but it is not central.

Double letter (brought by a friend). Notes/conjectures on the Alcestis - wants PE's views (and especially wants to properly attribute the ideas of others). Has read PE's notes on HF in the most recent Class.Journ. - some rude remarks on Gilbert Wakefield.

In London - PE to send anything for the Mus.Crit. to Ibbotson's Hotel.

Something else has been sent under separate cover (rejected by the Post Office as too much for one cover). A) In PE's note on a word, he ought to differ, not from JHM, but from Porson, whose opinion JHM had defended. B) Begs PE to delete any reference to the Class.Journ. - not so much Barker, as the behaviour of the editor towards Blomfield and JHM.

Loves PE's critique on the Ajax, and looks forward to his edition of Sophocles. More on Barker - invokes PE's help.

Busy - lectures, pupils, wide acquaintance, medal and scholarship exams, publishing two books (2nd ed Hippolytus, 1st number of Museum Criticum). Asks for two new sheets of the Heracleidae. Articles in Mus Crit longer than expected and without much variety, so may not at first be popular. Asks for a short notice of any new publication PE sees, and for his views on the Mus Crit when it appears.

Still very busy - simultaneous publication of two books. Thanks PE for complete copy of Heracleidae. Mus Crit longer than expected (140)(128 pages). Hippolytus will be finished the next day, and a copy will be sent to PE. Sidler's Dochmiaea unsatisfactory - hopes for a better attempt from PE. More on Barker - an 'unprincipled dog.' PE has deferred coming to Cambridge.

The long holiday has so relaxed him that he cannot settle down to Greek. Has revised one sheet of Maltby's Thesaurus. At the meeting in London PE had said he might write an article on Fox and Wakefield's correspondence (published June 1813).

PE has given him leave to address him in the language of familiarity ('My dear Elmsley')('My dear Sir'). Hurt that PE prefers to write for the Classical Journal than for the Museum Criticum. A question of circulation and therefore publicity - but the Class Journal cannot be found in Cambridge bookshops because half of it is written by Barker - only Dobree has a copy. Burney's Phrynichus, and news of college appointments.

A slight falling-out between JHM and PE, about which JHM is distressed - maybe to do with Murray 1) Murray has withdrawn any objection to PE making free use of his articles and 2) JHM cannot see that any displeasure of PE with Murray could operate against the Mus.Crit. News of sales of 1st ed. of Mus.Crit.
