“My dear Redding,

“I have finished an article for the magazine, (a sketch of Leslie Foster), which you will receive before the sixth of next month, as I wish it to be leading. I expect to see it in large type.

“I wish you would tell the bibliopolist that I will not

send another article until he sends me my account, for which I have repeatedly applied. The premier bookseller is worse than the premier minister. I am sure that if I were to write to the great captain, he would answer my letters. The great bibliopolist should stoop from his meditations upon quartos and octavos, and devote three minutes to a matter of plain business. I do not know how I stand with him. Pray press him for me. I write for money, nothing else, and it is odd that he should not see that the furnishing a short account, is what I have a right to demand of him. I am half vexed at his omitting to comply with my request.

“You will be rejoiced, as well as our excellent friend Campbell, whose heart is as good as his genius is lofty, to learn that Curran has got an excellent place under the government, and that he may reasonably expect further promotion.

“Pray write to me.
“Your most truly,
“R. Shiel.”
