TitleLetter from John Linnell Bond to Eleanor Anne Porden, enclosing books, initially in very over-blown literary language
Date18 Jul 1808
DescriptionFirst page in language Bond describes as "from the Regions of Allegory"; encloses all books requested except "Scriptores Graeci"; he presumes she is intending to follow her studies and make progress with the assistance of Mrs Palmer; the heat of the weather on Thursday must have made him appear as an indifferent listener to the poem; hopes her mother finds the country air beneficial to her health.
