Bath. - Glad to hear of Richard's improvement: mistaken belief that Milnes had arrived led him to fear the worst. Milnes' present state of depression should be resisted as an obstacle to religious faith; low self-esteem not a substitute for true repentance (quotes examples); value of prayer. Small section of letter missing near end. Is leaving for Chobham [Place?] on the 20th; the waters at Bath beneficial; Wilberforce is here with his family; Milnes should study his book on religion.
