Brunswick Hotel, Hanover Square, on paper embossed with stag crest and the motto Jay Bonne Cause. - Forwards papers on first English Bible and early English books printed on vellum for Philobiblon Society Miscellanies; requests return of MS whether used or note; perhaps Miscellanies should be sent to the British Museum and other privileged libraries.
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.

72 Eaton Place. - Thanks for copies of Mr Venables' sketch [of her late husband]; though 'not quite what I should have liked' in some parts, it is much better than Archbishop Manning's very narrow notice in the Month and should be more widely read; sale of his books a great wrench; glad some were bought simply in his memory.
