Weymouth 17th July 1846
My Dear Sir,
Allow me to notice to you for your memorandum of meeting that in Dorchester we held a meeting at Noon besides the one at 7 in the evening, and this has been so for three years as I learned. Be so good therefore as to note it so in your book that it be put into the list for another year, as it is not in my list, and it was by mere accident that I found there was such a meeting at 12, and on learning it had to hasten from Swanage in the dead of the night to Wareham, so as to be in Dorchester in good time next morning. Mr. Glyn says he sent special notice to Earl Street about this 12 o'clock meeting at a former.
Would you be kind enough to send me the Visitor's Book of Lincolnshire which I gave you Monday week, as I needed to make out a little report of these meetings.
Have you printed no slips of intelligence as you usually do, since I saw you? These I understand you generally forward to Agents & Visitors. Please therefore in your charity to remember your present Dorsetshire Visitor, who has not received any since he entered on this tour.
You took a memorandum on Monday week to send the stamped Reporter. It was published yesterday, and may be here this morning. I write this before breakfast, the only time I have, but shall not send until after post time, that I may add a P.S. saying whether the Reporter comes with this post or not.
If you post for me the Visitor's book tomorrow evening, send it to Cerne Abbas.
Wishing you, My Dear Sir, every blessing, and same to all in your house, I remain,
Yours Truly,
James Thomson.
