Dear Mr Havens,

I do not mean to prolong this correspondence unduly. I have just a
couple of further questions/comments regarding Samuel Wesley
correspondence in the Osborn collection.

A. File 46.157 draft CB to SW, 'I was on the point of reminding you'. I date this ca. 29/11/1799, as it is after SW's letter postmarked 28/11 and CB says that November 'is now on its last legs'. I have a photocopy of only the first page, ending with the phrase 'from want of diligence,'. Is there more in your files? If so, I'd like a photocopy of the remainder.

B. File 46.157 draft CB to SW, 'My dear (I may now without offence almost say) old friend'. I date this about 11 April 1808 as it refers to the first Mrs Sheridan, and SW to CB of 12 April 1808 (in Osborn File 52.38, 'Your kind Letter has reached me only 5 Minutes ago') mentions Mrs Sheridan; also CB in this letter says his Italian Tour was '38 years ago', and the tour took place in 1770.

Thank you again.

Michael Kassler
