  <dc:title>To Robert Arbuthnot from Aberdeen</dc:title>
  <dc:description>He asks Arbuthnot if he sould go ahead with new plan for preface to Sibbald's edition of parts of Addison's prose works. Should he write notes to Tickell's life and Johnson's character of Addison? He needs an answer quickly bacause he is busy and does not want to do something inconsistent with the views of the publishers. The plan is very different now from what he once thought it was. His original plan for a biographical and critical essay on Addison's prose would not be appropriate to the present purpose. Sibbald has sent Beattie list of the numbers of the Freeholder he intended to include. </dc:description>
