3 Gloucester Terrace, Hyde Park, W. - Has never seen the original of the letter from which an extract appears in the Blackwood article on FitzGerald, nor the extract until it appeared there. Is surprised his father, 'usually so accurate', made such a mistake. Sends F. H. Groome's address, and has sent on Quaritch's letter to Groome as he himself knows nothing of the matter.
Relates to the Freemen of the Ward of Bishopsgate.
3 Gloucester Terrace, Hyde Park, W. - Quaritch will remember his father, having purchased his library; sends on a catalogue [for the library of Robert Hindes Groome]. Archdeacon Groome was a good friend of Donne's father and of Edward FitzGerald.
