[London] Wednesday 20th. July 1808.
Dear Tom,[1]
If your legs are not yet worn out and can manage to get to Pimlico[2] this evening, I shall be obliged by your going to the library and bringing me the Letters of Junius,[3] and also a clean shirt, if you can procure one. I shall be at home immediately after the play of the Mountaineers.[4] Of course you will ask leave, and I by no means wish you to come if you are otherwise engaged. By the bye, if Mrs. Hunter has in her possession some verses I wrote called the Lover's Vigil,[5] she will favour me by letting me take a copy.
Tui observantissimus,
Leigh Hunt.

| Transcript Notes |
1. Thomas Kent, the younger brother of Marianne and Elizabeth Kent . 2. LH lived in Pimlico from June to November 1808 . 3. Though several editions were available, LH probably refers to The Letters of Junius, ed. R. Heron, 3 vols. (London, 1804) because it was the most complete and included valuable notes . 4. The Mountaineers (1794), a melodrama by George Colman, the Younger presented at the Haymarket Theatre on July 20, 1808 (Genest, English Stage, VIII, 108) . 5. No record of publication and no manuscript exist. |
