John Conybeare to PE on his reasons for declining the post of Public Orator.

M Burton of Ch Ch cancelling a dinner for PE and Hallam because of his father's gout
Richard Haber (?) thanks PE for his support and patronage
Thomas MacKnight to John E re a bond which had come into John E's brother's hands (PE?) NB John E was Chief Justice of Upper and Lower Canada - died 1805
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
Thomas Grenville renews enquiry - a tutor for an 8 year old boy - but not a priest, since the father wishes him brought up a catholic
Thomas Grenville (brother of Lord Grenville? - row 49) making enquiries for some friends, who for the moment do not wish to proceed. The friends must be nameless, and the enquiry a secret.
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)
