Summary
Requesting that, if Sheppard hasn't already worked off the 250 sheets of "Members' Accounts" that had been ordered a few days earlier, he make sure to use paper as thick as that used for the first set of Syzygies scoring papers; saying that the paper used for the second set is too thin; enclosing specimens of both types of paper (no longer with the letter).
