Scope and Contents
The collection consists of two letters to John Houlton of Farley Castle, Bath.

He outlines a suggested programme of songs. In the second letter (January 23, 1827, Bath), he apologizes for his presumption in sending the suggestions; he was unaware that there was a committee for this purpose.
