My Dear Henry

I have given the nine copies to Rodwell, <1> & directed the others (with my own hand) which W[r]ight <2> took in a cab to the Binder. Upon looking over the List I think it would be adviseable [sic] to have 20 more at least finished by next week, they will be required.

The Duke of Bedford <3> and others from the County have sent in their adhesion but there is no hurry about them. I am very busy as you may suppose
