W. Turner seeks advice re his quest for a job in the church (and sends his regards to Thomas Gaisford, Regius Professor of Greek)
Grosvenor Charles Bedford to Peter Elmsley
Has been promoted. Has not ridden for some time in order to rest his groin, but hopes to be able to wear tight pantaloons before the London season.
C Goddard - Press matters.
Compositors of the Clarendon Press to PE, one of the Delegates, objecting to the proposal to reduce rates of pay
Henry Bedford and Grosvenor Charles Bedford to Peter Elmsley
Henry - glad to hear of PE's return to England. Domestic (servant with uterine cancer) and work problems for both him and his brother (who also appears to have strained something around his groin - 'somewhere, as sailors say, between wind and water') prevent a trip to Dover. Invites PE to stay in 10 days time. PE seems to have asked for help in obtaining a sextant. G.C. - can only ride gently because of his injury (which is not too bad - no danger of needing to carry his aidoia - Greek = genitalia - in a wheelbarrow).
Thomas Gaisford to Peter Elmsley
Hermann's Trachiniae disagrees with PE's views. Niebuhr and the intransigence of Mai. OUP and other Oxford news.
Boissonade to PE detailing the contents of his Anecdota.
Boissonade (Jean Francois - Prof of Greek in Paris) sends a book/pamphlet (?)
Thanks PE for getting Phillimore to recommend him as sub-librarian at Bodley, to replace Henry Cotton (OW).
Thomas Burgess thanks PE for some copies of some papers.
