ALS (initialed) to John Scott

Temporarily declines Scott's request for a critique of Scott's proposed poem as he is anxious that it will interfere with material that he is writing on the same topic. Believes that his two short essays will not interfere with Scott's work. Refers to Southey's writing on the same subject. Asks Scott not to get the impression, from his previous letter, that he thinks ill of mankind. Discusses his poetry celebrating the King of Sweden, and his pamphlet occasioned by the Convention of Cintra. Gives his opinion of the Duke of Wellington. Regrets that Scott's other work will prevent him from writing for the 'Champion'. Thanks Scott for verses. Refers to Walter Scott and Byron. Accepts Scott's offer to send the 'Champion'.
