2pp., 4to. On bifolium, with reverse of second leaf addressed to 'Rev. T. Greenwood, | Leeds.' In good condition, on aged paper, with slight discoloration to second leaf. BBTI lists Gawtree as active in Leeds between 1817 and 1822; he took over the Leeds Intelligencer in 1818.

He asks Greenwood not to discuss the matter with 'Mr. Wilson in Leeds'. He continues: 'Watson is not coming here on Sunday, on account of indisposition; - we shall have only Dawson and Newton'.

He concludes by asking Greenwood to send him '"Penwortham Bells," or any other poetry to copy', adding 'The MS. shall be most religiously preserved and returned'. In a postscript he states that he is enclosing 'a lot of Autographs. - If you want to know any of the parties - inquire [sic] of me.'.…
