Mr. Ryland to Mr. Henry.
May 4, 1809.
My Dear Sir: You must consider the short letter I wrote to you by the last post as altogether unofficial; but I am now to intimate to you, in a more formal manner, our hope of your speedy return, as the object of your journey seems, for the present at least, to be at an end.
We have London news, by the way of the river, up to the 6th of March, which tallies to a day with what we have received by the way of the States.
Heartily wishing you a safe and speedy journey back to us, I am, my dear sir, most sincerely, yours,
H. W. R.
Have the goodness to bring my books with you, though I shall have little spirit to look into them, unless you bring good news from Spain.
John Henry, Esq.
Mr. Henry to Mr. Peel.
