Summary
Asking his correspondent if he has a copy of the parody of Macbeth, written by Stephen Weston, on "the plunder of the Cracherode prints by Deighton" (probably a reference to the theft in 1806 by a Mr. Deighton of over a hundred prints from the Cracherode Collection at the British Museum); saying that he thinks there may be a notice about in the Gentleman's Magazine and asking if he knows which volume it appears in; asking if his correspondent is ready to receive his prospectus and saying that it will take up about six pages.
