Dear Sir

I have been every day to the printer since the receipt of your letter, ¹ he now sends you a complete proof which please let me have corrected as soon as possible

Will you further also oblige with the Ishtar ² as next week I prepare the Societies [sic] Notices after which I go out of town for a few days.

If the Records of the Past ³ are not out before Xmas there will be a loss to the Guarantors, and the public interest will fail

Thanking you most heartily for your valuable assistance

I remain My Dear Sir Yours faith^y
W. R. Cooper
