Dear Sir

Downing April 15th 88

After the account you giave of yourself I cannot feel quite easy at your silence. May it be occasioned by any other cause than illness. If you will give yourself the trouble of sending to MrHughs printer you may receive a parcel containing a small piece of mine just printed: valuable only because very few were printed. In the same parcel you will find one for Ld Upper Ossory, another for Mr Walpole. excuse ththe liberty of requesting you to forward them.

I am with best wishes
Dear Sir
Yr very affect. humbl servt

Tho. Pennant

I write this week to Madrid about your prints.1
