Norton Street Septr 5th. 1791
Sir
The first proof came to me only this morning, which is not saying much in favour of our diligence. I called in Soho Square where I was informed no parcel would be forwarded to you after to day till next Sunday, which obliges me to trouble you with this sooner than I intended. The number of copies to be printed, it did not occur to me to ask, before you left Town or whether it is to be left to Mr. Nicols.
I have sent the first proof marked with such alterations as I thought necessary. The instructions in Captain Cooks second voyage are printed in Italics. I know not whether it is worth altering in our proof except at the beginning and end, where I have marked.
