Summary

See headnote to previous letter.

The copy-text is the manuscript in the Free Library of Philadelphia. It was first published by Prior in 1837.

Dr Sir,

As I have been out of order for some time past and am still not quite recovered, the fifth volume of Plutarch's lives remains unfinish’d, I fear I shall not be able to do it, unless there be an actual necessity and that none else can be found, If therefore you would send it to Mr Collier I should esteem it a kindness, and will pay for whatever it may come to. N.B. I received twelve guineas for the two Volumes.

I am Sir your obliged

humble servt

Oliver Goldsmith,

Pray let me have an answer.
