Dear Sir

Receive this to supply an omission in my last: and also as the conveyance of certain after thoughts. First let me perform the first by thanking you for the beautiful plates of shipping: They were to come in at Chatham: but they may come in as well at Portsmouth where I suppose great ships are built.¹ I am got as far as the confines of Hampshire but hope to get the new map this month & then proceed.² my secretary can have time to copy this for you. To facilitate my work Pray tell me are the vast woods I saw from Port down; royal. is there much & sizeable timber. what is that forest called?³

As to title pages to London had you not best use the printed one for y^r first part. & tell what other divisions you make & moses may make suitable Title pages: with a little drawing to each. [...] express the pages that each of y^r divisions begin at, that a proper drawing be selected.

I shall not trouble you more about Foreign heads: but send Mazel or some friend to Richardson who honestly marks the price of each print on its back. what I want them for chiefly, is Africa & Spain,

Be so good as to trouble yourself with sending the annexed to Faulder for a L.P. supplem^t. to the London.

Adieu
Y^rs most truely

Th. Pennant.

Downing Feb^r. 6^th - 91.⁴

The suite of the Dover journey will be from thence to the extremity of Hampshire. This this be begun for you next week if you do not contradict. for I shall be on a visit for five days, & nothing for him to do.
