Sir

I have pleasure in sending the Copies of a work to which you did me the honour of subscribing.

If the information collected & the arrangement of data – meet your approbation it will exceedingly gratify both the Author & the Publisher, a recommendation of yours that the “Description of the Melksham Fossil” ² should be properly given – was conveyed to me by M^r Provis ³ and certainly did stimulate our endeavour to do justice to the subject

Most respectfully I Remain Sir Your obedient Servant
Charles Empson

P S

I hope to be in your Neighbourhood on Monday – but uncertain if I can call at Laycock Abbey the copies are sent by your servant.–
