I have been expecting you for the last ten days. In a few hours I am leaving town for my holiday; I shall not return till far on in October.
As Brighton is but a short way off, I shall hope to see you on my return. You shall be welcome to the loan of some Blocks. You had better examine my folio volume, called “Bewick’s Woodcuts,” in the British Museum, and give me the numbers of the cuts, when I will see what I can do for you.
Yours sincerely,
Mr. C. Hindley, Senr.,
(of Brighton,)
8, Booksellers’ Row,
Strand, W.C.
West Hackney Rectory,

Dear Sir,
I can see you between 9.30 and 10.30 on Friday Morning.
Be so good as to advise me beforehand what you wish to see.
