From John J Audubon

I take a private opportunity to send for your acceptance one of the third Volumes of my Ornithological Biographies.

My family and myself returned to town a few days since and have established ourselves at No 4 Wimpole Street, Cavendish Square, just opposite the house of the Honble George Thackeray, D. D.

Can you inform why the Honble Revd G. N. Granville has discontinued his patronage to my Birds of America? I think that if he was aware that when finished (and that will be in two more years) one thousand pounds could not secure a Copy, he would probably be glad to possess so rare a Work.

Inclosed I send three stamp receipts for the Subscribers at Cambridge and will feel obliged to you for a remittance at your convenience.

With best regards to your Lady and family as well as to your relative Doc ^r Jennings (sic)

believe me ever Your Friend & Obt Servt
