TURNER

(1821-1879, second son of John Ellis, 1789-1862), saying she was obliged by your courtesy in sending me twelve copies of the Owl, altho I can well dispose of them, I should not certainly not have asked for so many, had I known they were not to be bought. Honour is due to those who stand forward in defence of persecuted Birds & Animals & in their name I am glad to thank you for your benevolence, 2 sides small 8vo., Cold Overton, Leicestershire, 3rd September
