London Jan. 4^th 1775.

Dear Sir

y^r two favors are before me. I have had leisure to peruse the excellent accounts of Dundee & beg you to forward the inclosed with my best thanks.

The list of maps will be welcome.

I told M^r Balfour that I had sold my whole impression to M^r White; else there is none I would oblige sooner.

Pray pick up for me (besides Crawfords Renfrewshire) Ballenden’s translation of Boethius & Sir D^d. Lyndesay’s of the mounts Poems.

Thanks for the good acc^t of the Linlithgow antiquity.

M^r Lindsay of orkney is very kind. would that my power was equal to my wish to serve him.

Thanks to M^r Bisset for the acc^t of Inchstuthil. it tallies quite with my engraven plan.

Beaton’s portrait is well done. I believe like: if not too old a cast. Let me have y^r opinion & of those who have seen it for I cannot so well remember.

I see M^r Gough the 13^th in my way home. What did the portrait of Beaton cost you. I must pay for everything.

Dr Sir
y^r obed^t Serv^t

Tho. Pennant

y^r directions next time to Mostyn

Be so good as to forbid the cane rats traveling into Wales; but let them be sent to M^r Banks’s new Burlington street which will do as well. Stop. I will speak to M^r White.
