- Scope and Content:
- Powell writes to chide Leslie for not having conveyed his news about the birth of his child (likely Robert, born in 1826) to Powell. He notes, humorously, that Leslie had asked him not to come back to his home until after the baby was born, but that Leslie has forgotten to tell Powell of the birth, despite having given other friends the news. Powell sends his congratulations and adds a postscript about seeing Constable the previous day.
