Dear Sir
I fear from the appearance of the times there will be no sort of hurry of offering Mr Low’s book to sale: for I much apprehend that the public can for many years to come attend only to the mere necessaries of life. but still we may try what we can do for I hate despondency. I inclose three plates for Mr Cordiners works done in this neighborhood. those in London are not quite ready; so these had best not shewen till all are come. with the latter will be two for Mr Low’s which may also be shewen.
If any feud prevents Mr Low from dedicating to Sir L.D. or any great Scotch patron, I shall not decline the honor.
Mr Gough will take good care of everything.
adieu most sincerely yrs
Mr Paton Custom [...]
