I thank You for the number of the Indische Bibliothek which I lately received with a Copy for Sir A Johnstone – We shall immediately elect You a Member of the New Asiatic Society of London - Why do you not tell me of some way in which I can do any thing useful or agreeable to you in London? – I am ambitious of the Honour of being your Agent [2] In order to encourage You to employ me, I venture to request You to do what You can to make the Tour of my most particular Friend, Mr Whishaw, in Germany agreeable to him
If He goes to Bonn, I trust him to your kindness for reception there & introductions on his Route, especially at Frankfort, Munich & to your Brother at Vienna –
If He does not go to Bonn I send this Letter to you I hope You will [3] send him Introductions to such Places as He may mention in his Letter to You He is well known to Auguste & the Broglies
Ever Yrs
