Dear Sir
I did not understand till a very short time since, that I was oblig’d to You for two Prints which
you was kind enough to leave at Bretherton’s This may refer to James Bretherton, engraver and
printseller at 134 New Bond Street from 1771 to 1799. Exeter Working Papers in Book History
@bookhistory.blogspot.co.uk [ABB] for me. I desire to give you my best thanks for them, and to assure
you that I think myself very much honor’d in having a place in your remembrance. I have built a House in
Stratton Street Picadilly, Richard Bull's house in town was no. 10 Stratton Street. Evans, ‘Richard Bull
and Thomas Pennant’, 271. The earliest letter from Pennant addressed to Bull there is NLW 5500C, no.
4, [no. IN THIS EDITION] 20 April 1780. and if business or amusement should call you to London
next winter, I should have a real pleasure in seeing you there, because you always amuse and inform me,
& I have besides some few things, which I wish to ask your opinion of.
I am Dear Sir Yours very much
