Dear Sir

Downing Oct^r 5^th 1797

Excuse this aukward paper. I must have a description of the title page & to what vol. also the same respecting the list of birds; & I doubt not I can accommodate.¹ my set is not bound, so my arrangement of that will assist me. The wheat ears are already done & I doubt not Ingleby's alacrity on the arrival of the selection from the annexed. Please to direct to me speedily at the Kings arms Holywell Oxford where I shall be the 13^th ^& stay till the 16^th to place my Dear Tom at Christchurch. Whether I may not be drawn to [...]Bath from thence I will not say I am not quite well & shall be near the place. but you shall have advice of my motions from oxford. I trust that neither you nor miss Bull require the visit to those waters of health. any other motive w^d be pleasing. I congratulate miss Bull & you on having such a comforter as Lady Clarges.

The inside of the old hall at Mostyn is now done. nothing shall be forgot. By long habitude I know y^r taste

D^r Sir

Sir John Salusbury 'acquired, we are told, the popular surname of "Bodiau," or Thumbs, from the fact that nature had not only endowed him with a double portion of Samson's strength, but had likewise furnished him with an extra thumb on each hand, and two great toes on each foot'.
