AUDUBON IN LONDON 419 



made enough noise about it: & I am sure his name will be 

 followed by a great many others to which Mr. Chapittar (Lord 

 Shrewsb. friend) has promised me to show the work & deliver 

 the prospectuses. Did you hear of the death of poor Mr 

 Barnes killed by a stag ( ?). It is a great loss for the Queen. 

 I remain, Dear Sir, begging you the London news 

 your most obliged friend
