Dear Sir y^r most obed^t Serv^t

Tho. Pennant.

Be so good as to remind M^r Menzies of a parcel he was so kind as to take charge of which I wish you would keep till we meet.

Inverary Castle aug. 15^th.

My Dear Sir

Let me entreat you never to suffer any parts of my Letters to appear in print. What you have done in the newspaper of the 8^th instant hurts me very much, & to all people of reflection has so puffing a look as to be very injurious to my character.
