Manuscrito
1p., 4to. On aged paper, with damage and discoloration to one margin. Eliza Urquhart begins her letter: 'Gentlemen, | Mr Urquhart has desired me to acquaint you that he thinks it would be adviseable immediately to see Mr Spotswood [i.e. Spottiswoode, then an employee of the book's printer Andrew Strahan] on the subject of accelerating the printing of his work, as from the present tardiness with which the proofs are sent, he thinks the Season will inevitably be lost'. Her husband has, she continues, 'so often urged this point, when he returns the proofs, that he cannot with any propriety say more on the subject.' Davies 'may probably think it right, to suggest the necessity of greater expedition'. She ends by explaining that 'Mr Urquhart would have written but has noly lately been declared out of danger from a long & desperate fever'. At the head of the letter is a note, presumbaly by Davies, dated 7 May 1803, and reading: '2D will be sent by this day's Post and will be the fifth sheet sent this week. - There are between seven and eight sheets yet to send of which one will be sent every day.'.
