CreatorBurney; Charles Parr (1785-1864); British clergyman
RecipientHatchett; Charles (1765-1847); British chemist
Date9 May 1836
DescriptionHe regrets that indisposition meant the Hatchett missed the last club meeting at which Burney could have appeared. Since then Burney has either been in the house or in bed and he is not yet sturdy enough to go out in the evening. He does not write to describe his own mortification but to ask after Hatchett and he hopes Hatchett will write to give him news.
