Summary
Expressing dissatisfaction with two portfolios supplied by Mr. Dyer: "they are sheep-skin, & not morocco, so that he is fearful of making constant use of such a frail material;" asking for a new set; requesting a copy of "[William] Blake's Young" (most likely a reference to the edition of the long poem The Complaint: or, Night-Thoughts on Life, Death, & Immortality, by Edward Young, illustrated by Blake).
