Dear Talbot

The glass ² had not been sent owing to the neglect of M^r Miller the of Regent Street whom I had ordered to pack it – but I am assured it is by this time on the road –

That you may know what you ought to find in the box I inclose [sic] a memorandum of its contents.

Yours ever
Lansdowne
