John Crawford in Rome to PE in Florence - has bought a paper from Amati (Carlo - professor of architecture, commentator on Vitruvius?), and is forwarding via an acquaintance. Hopes PE's labours at Oxford will be more useful than those on the papyri.

William Sotheby - PE has been ill and many friends inc. Henry Hallam have been worried - invitation to stay.

From various people to Dr Elmsley

Lavinia Spencer (Countess Spencer) invites PE to stay at Althorp (perhaps after meeting him in Naples)

Lavinia Spencer regrets that PE is engaged for Xmas, and hopes to see him for a few days in January. She apologises that PE has been asked to write some classical verse to be inscribed on altar plate.

Boissonade (Jean Francois - Prof of Greek in Paris) sends a book/pamphlet (?)

Extract of letter from Humphrey Davy to William Hamilton. He has the support of the government, and will write to PE in the north of Italy in the hope of persuading him to go to Naples. He plans to be in Naples before the end of Oct, and hopes to give an account of progress by the start of Dec. Sadly Michael Faraday is unable to join the expedition. Horsfall pp474f.

Revd Charles Strong (formerly of Wadham) proposes a text and translation of Hecuba, and asks PE in advance for help with any problems.

Philip Bliss (bibliophile, librarian at Bodley and Registrar)employs a housekeeper (?) for PE in Oxford. News of friends, and asks for a job for his brother-in-law.

Thanks PE for getting Phillimore to recommend him as sub-librarian at Bodley, to replace Henry Cotton (OW).
