Dear Bror
I have got you the Books
you wished me, for which I paid 1{^£} 1{^s} 0
I really think they are not the Books
you meant, I think you had an eye to
their being Mr Calamy’s [deleted] but
they are only an abridgement by
Palmer however I hope they are the
right ones.
Mr Yates offered to take
the Books but as Father was going
I declined his offer. I think he looks
a good deal better than when
you were here
I remain yrs very sincerely
Thos Bateman
Mr Wm Bateman Junr
Mr Cleggs
Livers Row
Manchester
[NOTE: there appears to be an entire other letter written in pencil on the wrapper which I haven’t photographed properly]
