July 27.th 1836
My dear Sir
I owe you many thanks for civilities paid to more than one friend of mine who have visited Bonn: & I greatly regret that the want of a fixed habitation to which my circumstances, pecuniary [2] and domestic, reduce me, prevent me from offering similar civilities to any friend of yours.
I do not know whether you interest yourself enough in English History, to be [3] induced to read in that language the Life of Sir William Temple. But having an opportunity of sending a copy to Bonn, I take the liberty of requesting your acceptance of it. It is carried by my friend Mrs Wilson Patten, whose daughter [4] married my relative Sir John Yarde Buller, Member of Parliament for South Devonshire, – my fatherland. She is a very agreeable woman; I am not acquainted with the lady that accompanies her.
Believe me
my dear Sir
very truly Yours
