Dr Sir
There came sat morning 3 boxes of books: I have not opened them yet, but in reading over the catalogue of their contents I find, a copy of,
| ✓ | Pinkertons’ Geography | |
| ✓ | Leland’s Demosthenes | |
| ✓ | Northern Antiquities (of Europe) translated from Mallet, by Percy— |
Cleaveland’s Mineralogy—all of which we already have. If you do not wish to retain a duplicate of the same work, am I authorised to deliver such to Mr Jones on Mr Hilliards account.
With the highest respect I am sir
Your’s &.
