Dear Sir

Thanks for the specimen of M^r Callendars useful design; which I heartily wish him success to complete.¹ I have only one remark which is that I think, proper names as Torfæus egbert, Pennant &c should be in types different from the rest, as they serve to catch the eye much better. Is the work by subscription or how?

As my hands are always extremely full, I love to have all sort of needless trouble taken off; therefore wish M^r Low’s M.S. had gone directly to him. But I will send it next week to M^r Cadel. My compliments to M^r Low as I have nothing new to write.

I am
Dear Sir
y^r affect. humble Serv^t

T. Pennant.

June 16^th 1778.
