My Brother, Lord William Russell, informs me of your kind attentions in superintending the restoration of some Antiquities Which he has purchased for me at Rome, & I request you will accept my sincere thanks for this mark of yr. kindness. – I trust you shal not fail to recieve a Copy of the Outline Engravings, & Description of my Marbles, which I sent to you last year, & I am in hopes that it will not be long, before I am enabled to send you a Supplement of this Work, which I flatter myself may merit yr. attention. – It will afford all your friends much pleasure to see you in England, & to show you everything worth yr. notice in this country.

I remain Sir,
with perfect esteem
Yr. faithful & obedient Servant
