D^r Sir

I entreat that you would attend to the business of the list to be annexed to this N^o – If the compositors are so very stupid as not to understand the direction you may give them get the whole transcribed by a more intelligent clerk – this may easily be done before 7 oclock tonight and I shall willingly pay the expense of it — The advertisement and all the M.SS. are now in Mr W.’s hands and I beg that you would urge him to make haste –

Yours always &c

F.J.
