My Dear Friend,
From a hurry to supply a Spanish vessel at Leith I anticipated a little grant which now I beg you to sanction.
And now from a letter recd. today which I show you I would beg a grant of
100 Spanish Bibles 5 in 8vo, 5 in 12mo
50 ---------- New Testaments
10 Portuguese Bibles
50 ------------ Testaments
I ask these because there is now a regular plan in Edin. & Leith for attending to all issues from these two countries.
Yours Very Truly,
James Thomson.
P.S. To be sent to Mrs. Peddie, 6 Grove Street, Edinburgh.
