[MS missing] introduce Mr Tilbrooke, fellow of Peter-House, – [MS missing] a friend of mine, & as a patient angler, – who remembers it as one of the remarkable events of his piscatory life, having tasted the great pike which you caught in Derwentwater, & whom perhaps you may be able to befriend in his [MS missing] amusement.
[MS missing]
Excuse the haste in which I write, & believe me, with the kindest remembrances to all your family
My Dear Sir
Your obliged friend
Robert Southey.
