From Thomas Beddoes to James Watt   11 October 1794

October 11^th

1794

Dear Sir

I am much distressed for want of the plates, and should be obliged if you would send 1 at a time if they are not finished as the letter press is all done and the Book is advertised to come out next Tuesday. I will send you the sheets under cover to Lord Selkirk which I would have done sooner had I not been obliged to have one sheet erased owing to the carelessness of the printer I remain

My dear Sir
Yours Sincerely

Thomas Beddoes
