Arlington Court, Barnstaple. - Planned to visit Homburg but driven here with whooping cough; could not investigate the affair of the hermaphrodite, but a friend corroborated Collett's account; the hermaphrodite kept women's outfits at several houses in town and would enact scenes with clients; his friend could have forced a dénouement; the individual is now abroad; fears Collett will be turned out of her house and all links will be lost. [Section removed]; [unnamed] woman's wish to see bawdy pictures; asks if Milnes can lend a copy of Fanny Hill.
