My dear Sir,
Miss Morland has this morning sent me some copies of her attempt to imitate the [Munich Game Piece?] It has all the spirit of the original but looks cold for want of a neutral tint. [Hole] I know is applied at Munich can you tell me whether it is laid on the paper before printing or after? if after do you know of what material it is composed. In short what is the Receipt for the wash, of to whom can they be sent to be properly tinted. My notion is that at Munich they generally tint them after printing, if so the same thing may be done in London to Miss Morland's but if it is necessary to tint the paper before printing it will be desirable to request Miss Morland's stone not be rubbed down till further orders and you will oblige me by sending a line to this effect to the printers.
Lord Compton informed me last week of your wishes to subscribe to Milles work of wh. I expect shortly to hear more I desired him to show you the Prospectus which is written by W Conybeare and which I hope you like - I am much obliged by your assistance in the [nomination?] of [Condier?] pray when I am to hear the result of my own nomination at the Linnean - if Strangeways is elected before April 1 have the goodness to desire notice to be sent to him at Earl of Ilchester, Melbury near Sherborne Dorset or at 31 Old Burlington St that he may have his [Hole} before he goes to [Missing paper] [Seale?] is now in Oxford and I think likely after another year to reside within 5 miles of this place. W. Conybeare is got nearly well again and gone to Hants. Have you yet got my specimens of Marble from [Missing paper] whose address I will thank you
[Missing paper] me and believe me
Ever Sincerely [Missing paper]
