Dear Sir

That many happy returns of this season may attend you is the united wish of this family.

I shall not trouble you with attending on the affair of the hollies which is made up on honorable terms. The advertisement is gone to the post,¹ & I hope the example will be followed by y^r county. If I omit any atrititive men it is thro' forgetfulness. Messrs Smalley & Co desire me to add a[...] declaration on their part to be printed at the foot of our advertisement. Let us be civil, but firm.

Adieu

Y^rs faithfully

Tho. Pennant.

Downing Jan^y 4^th 1791
