| Description | Apologises for having spoken so warmly on behalf of “an old and truly worthy friend”. Criticism of Samuel Roberts’ literary trivia. Should the piece be published, begs that a fictitious name be printed instead of his own (James Montgomery) as he is “under a cloud in Sheffield, from which I shall never fully emerge till I have gone down into the darkness of the grave”. Dated Monday night, 12 o’clock [1814].
