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

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.

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

J. Kidd thanks PE for his 'liberality of that morning.'
