You will understand my being particular, after what has happened. If I am right in this supposition, I am willing to come to Greenwich .... for the purpose of distribution ... Dr Miller ... who has kindly invited me to his house is aware of my position and of the proceedings of mr Parry and I would venture to suggest your communicating with him ...", 4 sides 8vo., Hawarden Castle headed paper, 31st October
