  <dc:title>William Creech to James Beattie from Edinburgh</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Beattie's letter enclosing corrected paragraphs came just in time to prevent press stopping. Everything adjusted as Beattie asked. What is printed after first eighty-eight pages too bulky to post, so Creech sent it by vessel from Leith. Creech must intercede for a few other poems besides TheMinstrel. It would be cruel to cast off The Hermit - Ode on Lord Hay's Birthday - The triumph of melancholy - Ode to hope - Ode to peace - Retirement - some translations etc. Leave the selection to Creech and he will not trouble Beattie with correcting and revising. Creech agrees with Beattie's views about the intended Review</dc:description>
