107. Robert Southey to Grosvenor Charles Bedford, 13 October 1794*

Grosvenor Charles Bedford,

I particularly want the Minstrel — Sayers¹ — & the two volumes of the British Album.² I have so often said this in letters of my wonted length & you so often overlooked it that to write merely to request them is the only means of succeeding. the

send these books to No 8 Westgate Buildings Bath. I want not the great coat nor the boots.

when they arrive you may expect a long letter from me.

yours as usual

only a little irate

Robert Southey

Monday 13 Oct.Bath.

1794.
