M^r Owen

I thank you for y^r note & shall be glad to receive the sequel of y^r enquir[...]ies. I find so much time lost by sending the sheets thro’ y^r hands, that I shall not trouble you except on difficulties.

I shall be obliged to you for calling on m^r Sherwin engraver in Bond street for my print of M^r Pitt. I left money to pay my 2^d subscription but as the [sic] has left town, I must request M^r Faulder to pay you the ½ Guinea for that purpose. I wish you would wrap it carefully with soft paper round a Roller & leave it at M^r Hughes’s No 8 or 10 John street adelphi¹ who will bring it down.

Y^r friend

Th. Pennant

Downing July 20^th 1789.

Editorial notes

1. Pennant probably refers to his printer, Henry Hughs (or Hughes), although no record associating him with an address at John Street, Adelphi, has been identified, and the spelling of the name ('Hughes') is uncharacteristic of Pennant.
