Scope and content
Newport, I[sle] of W[ight]. - Sends passage from Coleridge's Table Talk; hopes Milnes has talked at length with C. Cowden Clarke, who knows more of Keats' early life than anyone. Severn's devotion to Keats in his last days. Transcribes passage from Table Talk Vol. 2 p. 89 on Coleridge's meeting Keats and predicting his death; Coleridge's unnamed companion on that occasion was Leigh Hunt; doubts about the alleged prediction as Keats was in perfect health at the time. The Examiner of c. 1815 introduces three would-be poets, Shelley, Keats, and himself; Reynolds has done very little but Keats' Muse will take care of him.
