282. Robert Southey to Grosvenor Charles Bedford, [c. 8 January 1798] ⁠* 

M^r & M^rs. Southey request the favour of M^r Bedfords company to dinner on Wednesday next, at 4.

M^r Southey is obliged to M^r Bedford for keeping his Musæus [1]  till it becomes valuable from its antiquity. he hopes M^r Bedford has taken the precaution to bind it in Russia to preserve it from the moths.
