Miss L has talked to a friend. PE has said evil and unfounded things to hurt Miss L's character, e.g. that she walked by moonlight with George Grote. PE should act as if he had never loved or hated. Miss L is handsome, clever and good-natured; she may not have acted rightly, but she has suffered very severely, not only in her prospects of Grote, which perhaps were never very decided but also by becoming a public talking point, and her spirits are now hurt. PE should be a friend, and even help her with 'young George.'
Lobec better than Erfurdt on Ajax. Forwards a letter (?) from Pe to Blomfield. Much more on Barker. Small sale of PE's Acharnians. Buying habits of undergraduates. Publication of Porson's notes (JHM to edit prose authors, Dobree verse). 1st no. of Museum Criticum delayed until the end of March (plus discussion of name - maybe Museum Criticum, maybe Cambridge Classical Researches).
PE has been generous in some way to or about Barker (who has been the author of a forgery, and is preparing an attack on JHM). On PE's advice JHM has not written to the Gentleman's Magazine - but asks PE to do so on his behalf.
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
Mary Conybeare of Batheaston (wife?sister? of John Conybeare, Prof of Anglo-Saxon & then poetry, and vicar of Batheaston) - invitations to stay, response to an enquiry from PE concerning John Lascelles Fenwick
