My dear sir,
I transcribe from a letter just received from my friend Mr. [_ea], City Library. Bath
“I have just seen in Nattali’s Catalogue (No. 19 Southampton Street covent garden) a copy of Wood’s description of Bath. It is described as being in old Calf two butchers' in one. Six shillings. Dr. Carrys Bookseller could at once procure it.” What Nattali’s means, I (W.W.) cannot guess—
I should have sent you a contradictory letter to Mr. Wads(?), the possessor of the Portrait of Coleridge at present H.G.T(?) Wells, but I wait for his exact address, to save you trouble—
l—(?)
Faithfully
Your obligent,
W[illia]m Wordsworth
