Year determined by 1816-02-21. Encloses 3 of Hermann's Opuscula, to be returned to Mawman's booksellers when finished with. 'in haste, for the trout await.'
Date probable, in view of preceding. Staying at The Hummums rather than at Eastey's. Too busy to visit St Mary Cray, but hopes to see PE in town. Lack of contributions to Museum Criticum - hopes for some notes on the Medea from PE.
Congratulations on PE's various preferments. Museum Criticum No 8 about to be printed, inc. a review by B of PE's Bacchae (intended for last no.). Will add a review of Hermann's Bacchae. Has glanced at PE's OC. He only does Greek in the summer vacations in the country.
