25 Oxford Street, Plymouth. - George Keats has taken legal steps to prevent publication of his brother's poems; can they be considered anybody's property fourteen years after the author's death? Believes he has copies of all Keats' poems. Has written nothing for several weeks owing to a bruised back and abstinence from snuff: 'The act of writing without snuff in my nose, gives me the sensation of not having had a wink of sleep for a week'; doctors warned him to give it up when he suffered a fit in the street and injured his back. Is living with his half-sister and niece and prefers this place to Italy; [his son] Carlino is working at mathematics for a civil engineer's profession. Landor writes from London; asks why he has returned; reports from Florence state that 'Mrs Landor was abusing me with all her might - this is vastly shocking, but one comfort is that I must be even with her'.

The system is described as 'patronized by upwards of twenty thousand persons of distinction !!!'. Stuart announces his arrival in Hatfield and his intention to give instruction in his system for a short period. A course of 'Six short and easy lessons', for the price of one guinea', is said to teach 'the most perfect freedom of Hand, and correct uniformity of Style'. Those who cannot write at all will be taught 'a beautiful Hand in Twelve Lessons for Two Guineas', while '[]n-Making in One Lesson' costs five shillings. Stuart will only be a short time in Hatfield due to his 'Engagements in Doncaster', so 'early application' is recommended.
