My dear Sir
Tomorrow is Silver - and if <<y>>our intention & convenience about <<a>> cake of silver extends to tomorrow it would be important to me to know <<i>>t as I would arrange accordingly [word illegible] cakes of silver have on them <<t>>hose vermiform tubes due to the escape of oxygen on cooling, if they happen to be present why so much the better[.] The similar ingots of Platinum & Aluminium to illustrate Specific Gravity would be very acceptable if they are still in existence. The bearer is very faithful & would bring me my message or any thing else you might like to entrust to <<him.>>
