Copy of a letter from PE to Monk. He had indeed thought Dobree was the anon. author - and had only wanted a clear statement of what precise emendations were in question. Concludes with a wish for a personal correspondence. (v. Horsfall pp455ff on whole matter.)
Charles James Blomfield to Peter Elmsley
History of B's (anonymous) review of Monk's Hippolytus, and Monk's warm appreciation of it. Edmund Henry (Barker?) publicly criticises B, taking his attitude from Dr. Parr (who clearly lisped). Prepared to review PE's Oedipus if Monk doesn't get in first. Support for new journal (inc. PE's). PE's proposed visit to Cambridge. Authorship of preface to Porsoniana (Horsfall pp454ff).
Charles James Blomfield to Peter Elmsley
Year per Horsfall. Proposal to print the collation of the Agamemnon in the Museum Criticum, if PE does not object.
E. Berens congratulates PE on Alban Hall. Elections for Camden Professorship have not yet taken place, but he hears the outcome is certain.
Grosvenor Charles Bedford to Peter Elmsley
Written phonetically as with a cold in the nose. Advises PE not to use a handkerchief he left when playing cards a week ago. People poking their noses into Lord Melville's private affairs (last person to be impeached in the UK, in this year).
Thomas Gaisford to Peter Elmsley
Work at Press. Cold in Bodleian makes it impossible to study there.
