James Henry Monk to Peter Elmsley
Desperate for PE's notes on Hecuba.
Charles James Blomfield to Peter Elmsley
Paris mss of Aesch. Review of Porson Hecuba in Edinburgh Review attributed to PE - B notes coincidence with his 2nd ed of PV, and hopes PE will not think he is poaching; also chides PE in following Brunck and Butler (Samuel Butler, HM of Shrewsbury).
Charles James Blomfield to Peter Elmsley
Various textual observations. Jokes re low cost of foreign Greek books. Hermann's views on Porson - he has sent B some books; B hopes that Hermann doesn't know that B wrote a review of his Photius in the Edinburgh Review.
Thomas Gaisford to Peter Elmsley
Inadequacy of own work. Sorry to hear of PE's change of plan re Sophocles. Praise for first sheet of OT (sent by Collingwood). PE should assert claim to emendations etc. which have been forestalled in Erdfurt's edition - should also publish Aj. Or OC, neither of which Erdfurt has yet done. G. has just been ordained.
From various people to Dr Elmsley
Lavinia Spencer (Countess Spencer) invites PE to stay at Althorp (perhaps after meeting him in Naples)

Notes on text of Sophocles Philoctetes - index slips; whole play.
R.J. Gilbert (BNC) out when PE called - invites him to dine with Mr Parker
Alexander Wood of York to Mrs John Elmsley - holds Power of Attorney, and is selling land in Pickering
C Goddard - has sent some notes to Collingwood (see row 49 - from the Press?). Cannot work for the moment as his son has an obstruction of the mesenteric glands. Ref to Lord G. (Grenville? - see 49).
