[1] East India College
Hertford. 1t Augt 1828
My dear Sir
I do not know whether you remember that I had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with you when you paid a visit to my brother Professor Mr Haughton, at this place – & that I also had the pleasure of travelling with you in Sir John Malcolmʼs carriage to Cambridge
I take the liberty of calling these circumstances to your [2] recollection for the purpose of introducing my friend Mr Denis Le Marchant, a gentleman of good family pleasing manners & extensive information; & who is very desirous, in passing up the Rhine, of stopping at Bonn for the purpose of cultivating your acquaintance. And as I hope some day to make the same journey, I am glad of the occasion of keeping myself alive in your memory.
You will be sorry to hear, though you perhaps know it already, that Mr Haughton [3] has been obliged by the weak state of his health to resign his office in this College, & that we have lost the advantage of his society.
You have no doubt found great pleasure in reading the Sanscrit plays which were translated in Calcutta.
Believe me to be
My dear Sir
Yourʼs with great respect
& esteem.
Hen: Geo: Keene.
[4] For
Mr Professor Schlegel
in the University of Bonn.
