Hon[oure]d Sir          I hope you are well after your Journey. The advertisement about Unthank Colliery was not inserted in the last Saturdays papers; because Mr Brown had not sent the plan of the Colliery as he promised, and which was to have been sent to Mr Grey previous to the publication.

It is now altered, as in the inclosed copy, and will be inserted in the next Saturday’s papers; and in the London and Edinburgh papers as you ordered.
