DEAR H., I
have written a very respectful letter to Sir W.
S. Godwin did not write,
because he leaves all to his committee, as I will explain to you. If this
rascally weather holds, you will see but one of us on that day.
Yours, with many thanks,
C. Lamb.
William Godwin (1756-1836)
English novelist and political philosopher; author of An Inquiry
concerning the Principles of Political Justice (1793) and Caleb
Williams (1794); in 1797 he married Mary Wollstonecraft.
Benjamin Robert Haydon (1786-1846)
English historical painter and diarist who recorded anecdotes of romantic writers and the
physiognomy of several in his paintings.
Sir Walter Scott, baronet (1771-1832)
Scottish poet, novelist, antiquary, biographer, editor, and sheriff.
