M Burton of Ch Ch cancelling a dinner for PE and Hallam because of his father's gout
John Franklin (explorer - the 'man who ate his boots') thanks PE for his interest in the 1819-22 Coppermine River expedition - PE suggested pine bark as a possible constituent of bread, but JF says it is no good when frozen.
Thomas Grenville - a possible tutor (presumably recommended by PE) has stipulated 2 years only, and has demanded a very high salary - unacceptable on both counts
Lecointe (bankers?) - PE appears to be claiming a Voltaire from Beaumarchais' estate, and is temporarily refused
G Copleston says he will suggest to Lord Grenville (politician, Chancellor of University)that he be at Dropmore (Park) Thursday to Saturday
H Cotton (Ch Ch theologian) asks PE to let himself into the Delegates' room and extract a ms. of Enoch which he is to take to the Archbishop of Cashel - 3 weeks later he apologises for having removed some of PE's boxes from Tom Tower prior to his Irish trip
Sam Collingwood of the Clarendon Press asks for corrections to made to some pp. so he can take them to Lord Grenville at Dropmore.
Mr Carr begs leave to present his son
W Brown begs PE to accept a brace of birds
J Allen from Pisa to PE in Naples re forwarding a box of PE's books to England. Death of a friend and burial at Leghorn (Livorno). Warm climates do not cure - his sister's two children getting weaker, despite opium. Sismondi has reportedly married a Miss White, but he never mentions her in letters, which is suspicious (he in fact married Jessie Allen 2 years later - see above from Jessie de Sismondi)
