My Dear Henry

The weather is most deplorable – I don’t wonder it has cut short your tour. As soon as you return I hope you will order some more of N^o 1 – Pencil of Nature ¹ It is so much wanted for explanation. The 3 in Tarrants ²’ [sic] possession I am promised tomorrow – Longman ³ is crying out for them. N^o 2 is the least popular. On the whole the Pencil of Nature is more liked than the views in Scotland, ⁴ but the latter have served admirably to make the former more known. I hope you received my two letters directed to York, one to Lancaster & one to Liverpool
