Dear Sir
Receive this to supply an omission in my last: and also as the conveyance of certain after thoughts. First let me perform the first by thanking you for the beautiful plates of shipping: They were to come in at Chatham: but they may come in as well at Portsmouth where I suppose great ships are built.1 I am got as far as the confines of Hampshire but hope to get the new map this month & then proceed.2 my secretary can have time to copy this for you. To facilitate my work Pray tell me are the vast woods I saw from Port down; royal. is there much & sizeable timber. what is that forest called?3
As to title pages to London had you not best use the printed one for yr
first part. & tell what other divisions you make & moses may make suitable Title pages: with a little drawing to each.
[...] express the pages that each of yr divisions begin at, that a proper drawing be selected.
I shall not trouble you more about Foreign heads: but send Mazel or some friend to Richardson who honestly marks the price of each print on its back. what I want them for chiefly, is Africa & Spain,
Be so good as to trouble yourself with sending the annexed to Faulder for a L.P. supplemt. to the London.
Adieu
Yrs most truely
The suite of the Dover journey will be from thence to the extremity of Hampshire. This this be begun for you next week if you do not contradict. for I shall be on a visit for five days, & nothing for him to do.
On address sheet in pencil, in Richard Bull's hand: Ld C requests the favor Mr Wrights to erase Mr B's name upon the silver [?troket] & to insert Ld. M's instead of it.i
