Dear Sir

Downing July 4^th 1784,

My franking neighbor being still absent, I must annex my order for a L.P. copy of the welsh Tour for M^r Storer. Please to make my Complim^ts to him & let him know I think it cannot be better bestowed. To morrow I hope to deliver y^r treasure (myself to the coach at Chester & dare say you will receive it safe. Moses has put his bill in it. I am selfishly sorry at y^r thoughts of travel; but as I mean to make something out of the misfortune, Pray send me y^r route: will Paris or Switzerland lie in y^r way? I must urge the sem plon for brevity as you do: viz Company.¹

So adieu
most sincerely y^rs

T Pennant

I hope you received the list of Persons mentioned in my tours.² & request the return when copied
