Dear Sir
you will be so good as to peruse the inclosed & forward it. I suppose you will be of my mind as to the plan of publication. I hope he has not made his work too large which will hurt the sale. Pray assist him in recommending it to a Bookseller. for I would by all means have him sell it. There may be about 50L expence in plates, some of which will be truely curious. I think He may expect 100L clear of travelling charges which were 20L.1
In a month or two I will send you the specimen of prints for Mr Cordiners Letters.
I am Dr Sir
Truely yrs
