“There is such an art[icle] in the Review, and a very interesting
one, in which I recognise everywhere the hand of Southey; though
for a comprehensive art[icle] on the Moors in Spain, if that was
designed, it seems to me to be imperfect. I send it though. Your
invitation of some weeks back came in my absence; and was but
very lately seen by me. Your invitation for next Sunday there
is some fraction of a doubt whether I shall be able to accept.
I hope that the fraction will vanish,” tear along central fold
repaired, preserved in a custom made modern panelled calf box.
