Dear Sir

one favor with a Letter from Mr Campbell another with the prints are received with thanks.

I scarce know what to advise about Mr aulds compunction. are Ns. 9. 10 11. 12 vol. II Advoc. Libr. worth attention?

Stukely’s Stone hinge is a fanciful book. Borlases Antiquities of Cornwall is the best book Mr Low can have.

I have told him to draw on me for twenty pounds in aid of his voyage.

In respect to yr earnestness abt sending him books, you are very kind but he had best collect all his materials & then form his remarks from Books.

Pray transmit to him the inclosed hints.

I am Dear Sir
Yr obedt Servt

Tho. Pennant.

I like the Prints much, you favord me with. They are prettily designed.

Pray inform me of the weight of an isle of skie Steer, & cow the Butchers or graziers are best to advise with.
