New York: Law Office, 20 Nassau St. - Has sent an American edition of Milnes' Keats through Putnam the publisher. Not sure America deserves the compliment Milnes pays it in the dedication, for 'the universal striving for wealth, too often leaves neither leisure no taste, for those treasures of English Literature, which we ought to prize...'; hopes Milnes' words will prove true with the passage of time, and that Milnes will soon visit: 'the voyage is nothing'.

32 Manchester Road, Huddersfield. - Sorry Milnes cannot attend soirée on 6 March: had hoped to introduce him to Rev. Edmund Roberts Larken, translator of George Sand's Miller [of Angibault]. Met Emerson at Manchester last Sunday and heard him read a paper on Plato; hopes to meet Milnes one day.

21 Grande Rue, Boulogne Sur Mer. - Remorse after sending letter last summer; encloses pamphlet [no longer present] on Hayti [sic]; would Milnes draw Palmerston's attention to his own copy? Bathurst's father Robert was the eldest nephew of Henry Bathurst, bishop of Norwich [in fact he seems to have been a younger brother]; he made a fortune in India and bought Bream Lodge, near Lydney Park; died there in 1822 [actually 1821] when Edward Bathurst was four. Describes disposal of estate. Bathurst's uncle Charles ran the Indian business but ruined the family and 'died of a champagne surfeit in 1832' [1831?]. Bathurst himself went to India in 1835 but was unable to recover anything; accuses James Weir Hogg and Elliott Macnaghten of profiting from Indian crash.

Travelled in India; sailed to St Helena and witnessed the exhumation of Napoleon: 'the massy chest unclosed, and behold - such was the skill of the embalmer - the features of the Emperor in all their well-remembered beauty; features over which corruption seemed to have no power'. Returned to England and entered Lincoln's Inn before obtaining Vice-Consulship at Copenhagen through Lord Bathurst; his labours there; accepted posting to Cape Haytien on Sir Henry Wynn's advice but was unable to obtain any details; criticises 'esoteric mysteries of the Foreign Office; problems in Jamaica and Haiti; expense of building and other privations; abolition of post without recompense; creditors include Copeland, who unfairly supplied an expensive crockery service; has snubbed Haytians but otherwise gained approval; has not asked for promotion but for reinstatement; pleads case rhetorically.
