Letter from John Taylor to William Porden on possible publication of poems and turning down invitation to attend an Attic evening "Mrs Alsop" has been given to the printerv to submit to Taylor's partner, as he may have private interest in it; he will give him St Thomas's Day tomorrow, which he does not think he can object to; return of Mrs Taylor after absence of five months and his having cold and cough prevents him attending an Attic evening, but hopes he will be invited to the next; best wishes for Christmas and New Year. 20 Dec 1815
