Dear Sir

I have just time to express my joy at the news about Mr Low. I do really think he had best send his nat. history part first: that I may have full time to overlook it.

I see nothing but 396. venatios &c.1 I know nothing of it, but beg you to buy on yr own judgement.

in vast haste yrs

T. Pennant.

Decr 26th 1775.
