TO HENRY REEVE, 3 JANUARY 185[9]

MS: Mr F. R. Cowell.

Holly Lodge Kensington / Jany. 3. 1858

Dear Reeve,

I send you the two volumes of which you kindly offered to take charge. If you read the Life of Bishop Newton or that of Skelton, you will, I think, be repaid for your trouble. Be so good as to give the enclosed note to Lord Lansdowne.

Ever yours,

Macaulay

TO LORD LANSDOWNE, 3 JANUARY 185[9]

MS: The Marquess of Lansdowne.

Holly Lodge January 3. 1858

Dear Lord Lansdowne,

I send you by Reeve, who has been kind enough to charge himself with my commission, two volumes of biography which I mentioned to you when I was at Bowood in October. I was fortunate enough to pick them up at an old bookshop in Holborn. The first of the four lives, that of Pocock, is the least interesting.
