dc.description.transcriptionMy dear Cottle I never involved you in the bickering—and never suspected you, in any one action of your life (except that of ‘our poems’) [parentheses and words deleted] of practicing any guile against any human being except yourself—Your letter supplied only one in a Link of circumstances that informed me of some things & perhaps deceived me in others -- -- I shall write to day to Lloyd.— You will be so kind as not to communicate the contents of my last letter, concerning the Tragedies &c, to any one.—There is no occasion.—I do not think, I shall come to Bristol for these lectures—I ardently wish for the knowledge—but Mrs. Coleridge is within a month of her time—and I cannot. I ought not to leave her—especially, as her Surgeon is not a John Hunter, nor our house likely to perish from a plethora of comforts. Besides, there are other things that might disturb that evenness of benevolent feeling which I wish to cultivate. [p. 2] I am much better-- & at present, at Allfoxden—and my new & tender health is all over me like a voluptuous feeling.— God bless you—I do not much like to make you pay the postage for this scrawl; but you requested it. [period followed by deleted word, or part of word] S. T. Coleridge
