Dear Sir
I have requested my publisher to present you with a copy of a work I have just published on the Etymologies of the English language, but in consequence of our not knowing the name of your post town I am fearful it will not reach you. Should there be any mistake I hope you will let me know that I may get it rectified as I think the work would interest so zealous an antiquary as yourself
Believe me Yours most truly
H. F. Talbot
Sir T. Phillipps Bart
