Having accomplishd your order for the maps, & which I can
assure you cost me no little trouble in the collection, they being
by so many authors, some of old standing, & most of them in
different Shops, I am going this day to the custom House with them
in order to get them on board the first Dutch Ship which sails to
Amsterdam. This will be inclosd in the box, which I direct
according to your order to Messrs Fizeau Grand & Co.; & I shall
annex on the price to each map on the other side & hereafter send
you a regular bill thereof by some safe conveyance. I shall take
my riembursement as you desire by placing it to the Docrs. accot.
I have not been able to get the peice of musick you desire, nor
the Book calld the Gentleman’s accomptant; this cannot be bought
in the shops, but a Gentn. promises me to give me one, & which I
hope to forward together with the musick by a Mr. K—x who was with
you about two or three months ago. When you receive all these
things pray give me a line—to the direction which the Doctor last
wrote me under by post, & a common single letter (wch need not be
sign’d) will come very safe. I shall be very happy to render you
any services in my power & I hope you will command them
I am very truly & sincere’y Yours &ca &ca
under the same box with yr maps I have put two Books written by
the Rev’d. David Williams. They are a present from the author to
the Doctor
