3014. Robert Southey to Thomas Foster Barham, 21 August 1817*
Keswick. 21 Aug. 1817
Dear Sir
I find your letter of May 29th on my return from the continent, & hope you may have learnt this cause of its remaining so long unanswered, from some public or private channel, – you will otherwise have condemned me with much apparent reason, for incivility & thanklessness. My long journey has probably deprived me of the honour which you would have done my name by your proposed dedication, but my sense of your the favour remains the same. [1] I thank your for it, & subscribe myself Sir
with sincere respect
your obliged & faithful servant
Robert Southey.
