Fleet Street, Thursday Morn February 5, 1818.

My dear Taylor--I have finished copying my Second Book--but I want it for one day to overlook it. And moreover this day I have very particular employ in the affair of Cripps--so I trespass on your indulgence, and take advantage of your good nature. You shall hear from me or see me soon. I will tell Reynolds of your engagement to-morrow.

Yours unfeignedly

JOHN KEATS.
