Scope and content
Arlington Court, Barnstaple. - Regrets missing another look at Milnes' library but has left London owing to the heat; thanks for the 'Pascherotti' which prompted him to visit [Mrs?] James's, but nobody answered the bell; perhaps the [wine?] could be sent from Stanhope Street; means to offer it to his [parson's wife?] as the 'novelty may produce additional excitement'; will show Crébillon's Sofa and [Louvet's] Faublas to a 'young married friend' while her husband is away; Hankey spoke favourably of Mrs Ellis 'but did not mention whether she was au fait of anything'; a friend was enchanted with the three sisters at Paris but fears the prettiest is dying from consumption; has circulated George Coleman's MS [the Rodiad?] with Milnes' permission.
