Dear Sir;

If you will be so good as procure for me a well built
handsome post-charriott, I will remit the price of it in
due season. Something like the inclosed device may be
put upon it. Of the several articles I have lately wrote
for, the glasses, balls and other apparatus, such as are
used by the house of commons in balloting, and the du-
plicates of our journals, I am most anxious about, and
earnestly desire your particular attention to. The jour-
nals especially would be of considerable advantage to
me. I am

Dear Sir,
Your sincere friend and
well wishes
