He believed that their low state was temporary but he knew that there was no hope that it would risk financial involvement in any project at that time. He offers £25 as a personal contribution toward the distribution of 500 copies, but could not undertake to appeal to anyone else for help as he had already asked so often. He suggests that he call on Trew when next in London and ask him to discuss it with members of the Society. A note refers to No. 186 L.C. Part II. (Copy.)
