Moving house - asks PE to look after his books. The cry of No Popery has succeeded even beyond the hope of those who raised it.

PE's mother's health is precarious, so Bedford worries when he doesn't hear from him. Is weak and at home having been bled. Family news - 'Horace is at the Museum and makes his own tea there.'

PE thinking of priesthood - advises against Canterbury because of the danger of invasion and the plague of troops - Oxford or Cambridge the only provincial situations which would thoroughly suit PE.

Travelling north to Keswick. Has written so much trash to his brother that he could not bring himself to write the same to PE - will collude with Southey to find interesting material. Has heard unfavourable news of Horace (who actually died the day before this letter). PE has made an (unspecified) offer - brother Henry to meet and discuss it. Staying with the Cunliffes at Acton Park (Wrexham) - apparently also visiting Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn (OW - elder brother of CWW v. 327)) at Wynnstay.

Is concerned about Bedford's reaction to the death of his brother (v.329-331), and asks PE to give him spiritual guidance; he fears that Bedford is a sceptic in matters of religion (he has been reading Voltaire for years, and has a vain and weak mind). Now off for ten days soldiering.
