Writes to fulfil his promise to send the first poem he composed on his arrival home. Regrets that engagements constantly call him away from Rydale Mount and his writing. Sympathises with Haydon's loss of sight which impedes his painting. Expresses his lack of surprise at Canova's appreciation of the Elgin Marbles. Gives his opinion of the works of Abbe Winkelman on the strength of a short treatise, 'Reflections concerning the imitation of the Grecian artists in painting and sculpture'. Describes the three sonnets which follow. Sends 'Mrs W's' kindest remembrances. Informs him that 'Miss H' is absent.

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'.
