The "Magazine of Poetry" reach'd Dr B[ucke] all right—I expect him here by Wednesday next—(he expects to practically start that meter company & manufacturing)—O'C[onnor] is still very ill—he is yet eager that his late essay backing the pro-Bacon anti-Shaksperean argument sh'd be publish'd—I hope so too—
Nothing very new with me—Am somewhat worse, (side-pains day & night)—There is a good notice in London Pall-Mall Jan: 25—Sunny & very cold here—
