Rev A Brandram
Liverpool 4th Oct. 1850
My Dear Friend,
I have recently received a letter from Madrid, from the Hebrew Professor there, and translator of the Old Testament direct from the Hebrew into Spanish. He informs me that he has now finished the Pentateuch, and that he purposes to print the same, and simply in the text, in order that he may have the observations of persons able to judge of its qualities, and that it may also be of service to all who read it.
He wishes to know whether you could aid him in printing such an edition, and by means of buying a certain number of copies at a fixed price. I write to you therefore accordingly, that you may lay the proposition before the Committee, say on Monday next, on which day I have hopes of being with you.
I remain,
Yours Very Truly,
James Thomson.
P.S. I received from Mr. Knolleke a copy of your letter to Dr. Marriott. We can talk on the subject of it when we meet.
