Mr Hitchin
Edinburgh, 7th May 1845
My Dear Sir,
Will you be kind enough on receipt of this to send Ten pounds to Mrs. Thomson out of my private account? You have I believe her address: Northampton House, Northampton Square, entrance by No.14 Lower Charles Street.
I will thank you also to send me 100 Ladies' subscription cards addressed to me and put under cover with the address "W. F. Watson Esq., 52 Prince's Street, Edinburgh." And leave the same at Simpkin and Marshall's Stationers, Hall Court. You will see by my note to Mr. Brandram, here enclosed, that I have begged for 500 copies of your forthcoming Report for distribution in this country. Perhaps you may need to print an additional number to meet this, I mean above your former intention. If so please arrange in time accordingly as you will be printing I suppose immediately.
I should still, agreeably to a former request, be glad to receive the new Report sheet by sheet as it is finished, if this be not inconvenient.
I am, My Dear Sir,
Yours Very Truly,
Jas Thomson.
P.S. Please send me also, if you can spare them, a dozen copies of Mr. Wilkes's pamphlet taken from the Christian Observer. I do not mean his "Statement Presented to Judge Erskine", but his prior pamphlet.
