Scope and content
His health. If he possibly could he would come home to try what he could do for his dear little Nancy. A receipt which has done wonders in many cases. The great mortality at London - it was this that induced him to make a will, which he will send her soon lest the worst should happen. He wishes he could find a good place for a school, or a place for a little shop, but not at Flimston or St Athan. Is now convinced that he will never receive much of the money due to him (for his books). The Poems have been highly commended, etc. 'The attention of the Public is so taken up with politics that neither poetry or any thing besides politics sells'. She is mistaken in supposing Bristol to be as dangerous as London. Asking her to tell his father that he hopes to see him soon: 'I should be glad to see the last of him'. Requesting a particular account of Nancy's complaint. Asking her to let him know what Mrs Morgans of Landough and Basset of Bolston told her. He will have an opportunity of paying everyone in an account of his life that will be published sooner than many believe. Telling her to drop a hint to Mr Walters of this - how she may do it, etc. He wrote a song some time ago which the Constitutional Society printed - asking her to let him know whether she had it. How is the house for thatch? On the dorse is an extract from The British Critic in the autograph of Peggy Williams.
