1 folded sheet; most of last leaf removed.

Hodsock Priory. - Introducing two 'intimate friends of [her son] William's', just going to Trinity: [Francis] Garden and [Robert] Monteith; wishes Milnes to introduce them to 'literary society, steering them clear of the Infidels and Lunatics with which evil report says your learned University abounds'. Has been reading some of Milnes' poetry. Postscript: France is 'sustaining and beautifying'; Milnes will be 'more in love with it than ever'. Concerns about Milan as a winter base for Milnes' mother, because of the fogs and cold winds.
