Trinity College, Cambridge. - Expects he will be in Cambridge for the whole of the winter; will be 'delighted to have, as soon as possible, your last glyptic acquisitions to criticise'. The 'very curious' subject first enclosed must be 'the amour of Jove with Olympias, which got Alexander', as indicated by the globe at her foot. Mentioned his correspondent's purchase of the iron rings to 'poor [George] Eastwood', who said they were a 'queer lot' which he had kept together in a drawer. Discussion of other collectors.
