            Dear Sir
Your were so kind as to say you use your influence in endeavoring to obtain some of the Autographs I am in search of for my illustration of Lord Byron’s works. Should you suceed in finding any of the enclosed list you will confer a particular favor on me by the recollection and they may be sent over either in a package coming to some Mercantile House or perhaps some friend may be good enough to take charge of them –
Hoping you will visit London again before long and wishing you a pleasant tour I remain Dr Sir
Your’s very sincerely
W. Watts.
