42 St. Peter's Street, Canterbury. - Milnes' former kindness though previous appeal went unanswered; exhausted funds in travelling to Canterbury to take up a job in the theatre offered by 'Mr Mandeville'; he turned out to be the Charles Southwell convicted of blasphemy at Bristol and disappeared without paying his staff. Holmes is detained in Canterbury by his wife's contracting smallpox in an advanced stage of pregnancy; his own bilious complaint has been brought on by anxiety; now fears further infection and has no resources; will not trouble Milnes in future but entreats assistance now.
