Glasgow College. - Sends text of Hyperion copied from his copy of the 'former MS', in which some words were barely legible; line 35 of the manuscript certainly had hour where Keats meant horn; illegible word in line 253 could have been environed or enwormed; another word could have ben waste or wait; has only noted variants for the old part of the poem.

Park House, Maidstone - Thanks WW for his 'Republic and the Timaeus': WW will be remembered in time for his work in opening up this field to 'English readers'.

Park House. - Originally believed new fragment of Hyperion to be a reworking of printed version, but now concurs with Milnes' idea of its being a first sketch; publication can produce 'no disharmony of general effect' since Hyperion is not a complete work; new fragment 'most remarkable as showing the richness & self command of a genius that could afford to give up such splendid lines as here...'; Milnes' contribution to understanding of Keats; Alfred [Tennyson?] is not going to publish these two poems by themselves.

Glasgow. - Advent of 'The Church & the Diabolus'; not sure which is Esau and which Jacob; 'their mutual claims for the dying testifier Alex[ande]r Campbell'; Henry's holiday in Sorrento. 'So you think Carlyle untruculent in his last book... It seems to me rabider & rabider - & something abominably arrogant in the air with which he affects to button up Coleridge in one pocket & Schleiermacher in the other, as if they were both babies to him'.

12 Downshire Hill, Hampstead. - Lists misprints in Hyperion; does not have manuscript for comparison; will have left Richmond for the seaside by the 16th.

Two letters accompanied by a note with a Greek inscription.

Glasgow College. - Has compared manuscript with printed copy of Hyperion and sends corrected text; now believes disputed environed/enwormed must read enwombed; Lushington's 'original' was itself a copy and not in Keats' hand.

Concerning his brother Edmund Law Lushington's library of Egyptology, now offered to the Library. Does not have any letters from Spedding, and does not think there are any in his brother's library either.
