Mr. Robt. Lang.
SIR,
I have ordered copies of the enclosed volume to be sent to each of the gentlemen whose names you handed me as subscribers. You will oblige me by accepting of one of these, not as compensation for your trouble, but as a small mark of my regard for the kindness you have shewn me. Please present my best thanks to Mr. Robertson, and request him, from me, to accept of one likewise.
I am,
DEAR SIR,
Yours most sincerely,
ROBT. TANNAHILL.
