| Description | Writes jocularly that his friend has no right to censure him for “romping” since it has been he who has generally led the writer into it. Jocular reference to Mr Roberts “carrying on an intrigue with a little Gypsy Girl”. Does not know on what subject he and Montgomery are about to appear jointly before the public, but wishes them success. Mentions a volume now in the press. Has been asked for advice by Mathew Smith, Mr Roberts’ nephew, about entering Montgomery’s business and thinks the terms reasonable if the profits can be made to net £800 p.a. He will lend £300 or £400 to MS.
