Scope and content
Asks her to send the enclosed [introductions] [not included] to William. States that he acquired them from an acquaintance of his [Lewes]'who on Wednesday morning was totally ignorant of W's existence', and who had been mistaken for Henry by a lady, who congratulated him on his brother's marriage [to Isabel]. Having 'conceived immediately a lively interest in W. and hearing that he was gone to Sicily offered [Henry] the introduction to Signor Th[ ]', which Henry 'had not the heart to refuse'. He also received an introduction to Signor Salinas, [Professor of Archaeology at Palermo]. Asks her to write when her plans about going to Exeter are settled.
