Summary
Apologizing for the delay in thanking him for the loan of "D'Auteroches Voyage"; saying "I have however been so pressed by the publication of the Voyages into the South Sea, and the multifarious Business transacting at the India House relative to the proceedings in parliament upon the affairs of the Company, that I have not yet been able to taste the Treat you have furnished to my Mind. I shall take the Liberty therefore that your kind politeness has allowed, and keep the books a week or two longer, after which they shall with a thousand thanks, be dispatched to Gumbley.
