Dec^r 31. 1774

Dear Sir

Excuse the freedom I take of begging you would consign your copy of [...] My voyage 1772 to the Bearer for the use of my correspondent M^r Pope of Reay. I will replace it with a new set; but there being haste required for the conveyance of the voyage, I take this freedom.

I am Dear Sir
Your most obed^t Serv^t

Tho. Pennant
