Description

My dear Friend,
According to your desire, I again sit down to write to you. I beg your reference to my letter of yesterday wishing you to act as you feel pleasant to yourself. I have seen Harley this morning at breakfast; he will both speak and carry me to Lord Hawkesbury. I have seen the Paris Mine Company's penny; the head is tolerably executed. I shall not be able to guess even at my success till the middle of next week. I am, however, hard at work, and will not leave any stone unturned to succeed.
Yours most sincerely,
F. Garbett
