His surprise at hearing that no box had been sent by the barge - he very much fears that it is lost. Peggy, he supposes, has reached home by this time. Is sorry to hear that his father and mother and sister are in bad health. If he had a few articles to send to the Cambrian it would attract public attention and procure him some scholars - he wishes the addressee would send some historical or biographical sketches that would answer this purpose. Being without books or papers it is impossible for him to prepare anything. 'If I can get you to send me some things, they shall go in my name to the Cambrian'.
