N^o 9 vere street Dec^r 22^d 1774

Dear Sir

Y^r favors of the ^5^th. 9^th 12^th & 15^th. of this month lay me under great obligations. I shall be happy in a drawing of M^r Macgovans antiquity by any hand or any means he pleases. I shall stay here three weeks longer. I trust y^r Dundee packet will arrive in Time. My best thanks to y^r friend for his trouble.

I never hear M^r Low’s name without blushing at my seeming ingratitude. I had actually packed up some prints for him which were mislayed; but. they shall not be forgot, with proper interest the next year.

How comes it M^r Golborne had not both my volumes. he said he had only the voyage.

I suppose M^r Balfour never sent my order to M^r White. but I shall enquire.

You should not get my appendix: for the whole is my Tour q^to edition.

The Map of Murray had best be copied from Dorret. The D. of Cumberlands map is inaccessible.¹

You sent me a drawing of Mcgovan cross.² Inclosed is a draft for my debt of the magazines, & advertising. Please to make me a regular list of all you expend for me: for pray remember charity begins at home.

I am Dear Sir
with truest regard yrs

Tho. Pennant

Did D^r Blinshall contribute anything to the acct of Dundee.

Editorial notes

1. Probably a reference to William Roy's Military Survey of Scotland, produced following the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745-1746, after Cumberland petitioned his father George II to commission an accurate map of Scotland for military use.
2. Possibly related to the drawing of a cross Pennant mentions receiving from Paton in his letter of January 10^th 1773.
