[To John Forbes Royle [12 April-17 May 1847]]
I will send our village carrier next Thursday forenoon to call for the books. . . . I am aware that to borrow a book is at most times a cool request, but I had no idea, when I asked you, how rare a book the . . . Journal was. . . . I hope and believe that I have a really good character for returning books, etc.
