Dear Sir.
Thursday May 2. 1793
I return your Volumes of the Arctic Zoology with my best
thanks, of which I have taken all possible care, and I am sure you will not find a leaf or a print, or a drawing misplaced.
I have look’d them over and over, and the comparitive numbers ^of my Birds are so small, as to be not worth
noticing mentioning. Quadrupeds I have none of. I should be glad if you can spare me an hour any day after monday,
as I want much to shew you my the deficiencies in my copy of the Book in question,
which hasve never been return’d from Moses, and the Book is quite imperfect without them.
I hope to hear your little Girl finds some amendment in her vision.
I am Dear Sir.
Yours always
