Bill to Smith for two copies of Smith's "Tour to Hafod", £11 11s.

Sends above mentioned books, which have been much sought after following death of [Thomas] Johnes, has no doubt they will be much dearer. Offers to purchase another copy due to be sold on 29 June. Will enquire into the plates and blocks.

The coppers to Smith's "Tour to Hafod" are still in the possession of [Joseph Constantine] Stadler [(fl 1788-1820), engraver]; Stadler will not deliver them without an order from Smith, asks that Smith writes authorising to "sell to best advantage", would be interested in purchasing them himself. Asks if there is any engraved portrait of Smith available other than that in [Robert] Thornton's [(c 1768-1837), physician and writer on botany] "[A new illustration of the sexual system of] Linnaeus".

[Smith has briefly annotated his reply on verso of second folio:] "get £11.11/ of Longman & Co. I will give you my print by W Lane".
