Garden Corner, West Road, Cambridge. - Always gets the 'greatest pleasure' from Bob's letters about his books, as he thinks Bob is 'perhaps better qualified to judge them as books [emphasised] than any one else' and his corrections and suggestions are always 'so useful and interesting'. Bob's readings of Pope's "Prologue" [to Addison's "Cato"] are 'clearly improvements': George took his text [for "Peace and the Protestant Succession"] from an early copy of the play, but Pope must have made the correcctions Bob gives; discusses Bob's other comments.
