Dear Sir

I have sent Mr Low an answer & a set of his prints that he may shew his friends that something is going on for him. I wish Mr Elliot would fix on his own Bookseller Mr Cadel who is able & eminent in his profession. as to the prints I Imagine they will not cost so much as I said perhaps they may come under 50.L as many will be guinea or two guinea plates only.

I only wish for the finishing of two to send a set as you direct: perhaps 2 sets that you put them in different hands. I think some friend should recomend Mr Low for the patronage of Sir L. Dundas. He wishes to dedicate the work to me. but I think Sir L. the properer person & one who may serve him better. excuse a short Letter for the weather is most intolerably hot.

I am Dear Sir
Yr faithful humble Servt

Tho. Pennant

Has Mr Gough read Mr Lows M.S.
