 Private Bath April
28th

My dear Mr Spring Rice,

This morning I have received a letter from

my Son in which he speaks of himself as truly
grateful for the manner in.which you.received
him, and the interest you so kindly take in a
matter that nearly concerns me, and Which I
could gladly h0pe may have a successful issue.
That nothing may be wanting on my part, I have
resolved to set off for London tomorrow morning.
A note or message addressed to me at hh Dover
Street will be sure to reach me, and I Should be
happy to wait upon you at any tine you may appoint.
On second thought, however, it seems best that to
save you the trouble of writing or sending, a I
[”had best" cancelled] should call in Downing
Street on Tuesday'morning, in the assured belief
that if it be not perfectly convenient for you

to give me a minute or two of your time, you
will frankly let me know.»

I grieve to hear so sad an account of Lady
Theodosias state, [”and" cancelled] Believe
me to be

my Dear Mr. Spring Rice
faithfully your

much obliged
IWlhbrdsworth

He has been told by his son of Mr. SpringuRice's
kindness ”in a matter that nearly conewns me";

and intends to come to London; he makes an appointment
to see him.

This affair may have concerned Wordsworth's pension,
for Springs-Rice was at this time Chancellor of

the Exchequer. The letter is printed in The Letters
of William and Dorethy ImTordsx-Jorth, The Later Years,
Ed. E. de Selincourt. VOLIII, NO. 1297 (Oxford,
