My dear Grosvenor

In all hurry am I setting off for London, viâ Keswickiæ. pray you write by return to Keswick, to tell me whether I may drive at once to your Crown Street apartments, & calculate upon a nights housing there, if we arrive too late to lodge ourselves. – I remember the name Toon by Butlerian association¹ – but am not sure if it be in Crown Street. – nor if you still sojourn there.

We – that is Mr Corry & his Secretaryship² – set off this morning in a Parkgate³ packet – I momently expect the summons –

Grosvenor good bye R Southey.
