107. Robert Southey to Grosvenor Charles Bedford, 13 October 1794 ⁠* 

Grosvenor Charles Bedford,

I particularly want the Minstrel — Sayers [1]  — & the two volumes of the British Album. [2]  I have so often said this in letters of my wonted length & you so often overlooked it that to write merely to request them is the only means of succeeding. the

send these books to No 8 Westgate Buildings Bath. I want not the great coat nor the boots.

when they arrive you may expect a long letter from me.

yours as usual

only a little irate

Robert Southey

Monday 13 Oct. Bath.

1794.
