3501. Robert Southey to [James Heywood] Markland, 28 June 1820*
Dear Sir
I return your Mysteries unopened, – not having had an hour which I could appropriate to their perusal. This would vex me, if I did not expect to have an opportunity very soon, of examining the whole series of the Club-publications. [1]
Thank you for the print. – Excuse this hasty note written with a trembling hand, after packing up for my departure from London, – & believe me
Dear Sir
yrs respectfully
Robert Southey.
28 June. 1820.
