Dearest Friend /

Please to take care of these books for me——

May I intrust a Chest of private Papers—a large chest for a time——

As I predicted—My Cartoons have no reward [2] —particulars as soon as I can—only send up an answer as soon as convenient—a note—leave it without waiting[.]

Yours ever

B R Haydon

Miss B. B.
