TM/2/4/4-Letter from W Baines, 9 December [1790]


Letter from W Baines to Thomas Manning from Charter House Square London. He is concerned that Manning has not replied to his last letter because he asked too much of him. Baines has been ill with a sore throat and bad cold but had to continue at work. He has done little reading, not enough for a chance of a fellowship. He asks that Manning would spend time with him when he is in London and that Manning gives his Haddenham acquaintance another guinea if she calls again.. Handwritten, 1 piece, 3 sides. Dated 9 December [1790]
