Thanks Knox for a gift of three pair of ducks given in November, although four died during the passage to London. A commission for books and a bill to pay Grimanney & Co. (see GLC02437.00005) have been received, but the latter has not been paid "for want of Effects." Discusses book pricing and books and magazines being sent to Knox. Longman is also sending Knox a watch as a gift. A post script asks Knox to give Longman's compliments to Mr. Bowes. Another letter dated 11 February 1772 appears on the verso indicating that he has shipped an order of eleven trunks and one case of books. A post script asks that a small parcel contained in the shipment be delivered to Jacob Smith. Longman was a London bookseller.
