1429. Robert Southey to John Rickman, 25 [February 1808]*

My dear Rickman

If there be room in the mail which passes thro Lichfield on Sunday evening I shall get in & you will see me (God willing) on the following morning. I have been snow-drifted to Liverpool, & detained there a few days for the sake of seeing Roscoe & the other remarkables of the place.
