[1] Dear Sir –
Will you permit me to introduce to you
my friend Mr Cadell a very respectable character of my own country who is making the tour of Germany & could not think of passing through Bonn without being presented to you – I shall hope to hear on Mr Cadells return of your being well – or if any friend of yours should be bound for London I should be much gratified by a note of your remembrance & by your putting it in my power to show attention to a stranger introducd by you –
I continue to reside in
London in the Editorship of the N. M. Magazine.
I have taken a House in a pleasant part of the town &
[2] I find myself altogether as comfortable as the common lot of Humanity permits – Only that I am tormented by the great scarcity of compelent contributors to my work & the mere arrangement of the papers for every month does not allow me leisure as I could wish to throw my own humble efforts into the scale –
It would be more becoming in me however to enquire
what original works the world is to be yet favourd with from yourself than to talk of my own concerns – In hopes of hearing soon on the former subject
I remain
My dear Sir
Your very obliged & faithful
Serv
