| Evidence: | 'Permit me to ask you to lend me for a few days Washington Irving's last exquisitely written and interesting work - the Conquest of Granada - I want to consult it, and have been disappointed in having it from Hookham - No book has delighted me so much for a very long time - Your kind offer with regard to books has made me take this liberty - I hope I do not do wrong'
