Keir. - Unable to visit Milnes or Sir Reginald Mo[--?]. Cantos II and III are dedicated to Milnes and Maxwell; saw and admired Canto II in manuscript. Did not request the [Trench/French?] catalogue, 'So the bidding for the Adages suffered some substractionage'. Prescott writes from America with fond memories of England.
Postscript: is inscribing places in his library with mottos 'explanatory or eulogistic of the genus loci'; would like to include Milnes' French quotation but cannot read name of its author, apparently Pixecourt [i.e. Pixerécourt?]; still seeks quotations; adds a Latin one found in 'the Doctor'.
