Dear Sir

I did not understand till a very short time since, that I was oblig’d to You for two Prints which you was kind enough to leave at Bretherton’s for me. I desire to give you my best thanks for them, and to assure you that I think myself very much honor’d in having a place in your remembrance. I have built a House in Stratton StreetPicadilly,¹ and if business or amusement should call you to London next winter, I should have a real pleasure in seeing you there, because you always amuse and inform me, & I have besides some few things, which I wish to ask your opinion of.

I am Dear Sir
Yours very much

Rich^d: Bull

Watcombe Place
Southampton
28 June 1778
