Notes
Clarke lists the date of writing only as "Saturday." However, the first volume of his book The Progress of Maritime Discovery was published in 1803; the contents of this letter suggest that it was written after that date.
Clarke gives the place of writing as "No. 166 Sloane St," an address in London.
From the Ford collection.
