From Charles Roach Smith   9 December 1852

My dear Sir,

I feel I have taxed many of my friends with my Collectanea too long:– at the same time I must send a circular but I shall not be vexed if they think fit to cease subscribing nor the less grateful for past kindnesses.

Twenty two new subscribers are already enrolled & I am in hope of being able of bringing out more volumes. I feel they are wanted & I feel I have no other medium in publishing through–

With best regards & wishes | your’s very truly | C R Smith
