I heard, my dear Pupil, at oxford of a M^r Astle once of the Tower, now I think of Lambeth who has a fine collection of drawings of welch monuments: It must be y^r business to find him out, & get a complete list of all he has.

Be so good as to get from y^r neighbor Buck¹ a printed list of his prints & send it in a frank. N. B. get a stock of franks to me.

I leave this place too day [sic] & shall reach downing on Saturday. am D^r Sir

very affect^ly yrs

Tho. Pennant

Lichfield May 21^st 1771.
